Jaffer v. Gonzales

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 07-1121 MIRZA MUHAMMAD JAFFER, Petitioner, versus ALBERTO R. GONZALES, Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. (A72-166-950) Submitted: July 18, 2007 Decided: August 1, 2007 Before TRAXLER and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and WILKINS, Senior Circuit Judge. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Mirza Muhammad Jaffer, Petitioner Pro Se. Mona Maria Yousif, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Mirza Muhammad Jaffer, a native of India and a citizen of Pakistan, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal from the immigration judge’s denial of his motion to reopen immigration proceedings. We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in upholding the denial of Jaffer’s motion. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(1)(iv) (2007). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Jaffer, A72-166-950 (B.I.A. Jan. 19, 2007). 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 - 2 -
