See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Kwaku Obeng, a native and citizen of Ghana, petitions for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”)
denying his motion to reopen immigration proceedings. We review
the denial of a motion to reopen for abuse of discretion. INS v.
Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24 (1992). We have reviewed the record
and the Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse its
discretion in denying the motion as untimely filed. See 8 U.S.C.A.
§ 1229a(c)(7)(C)(I) (West 1999 & Supp. 2005); 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(c)(2) (2006). Accordingly, we deny the petition for
review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
