PER CURIAM:
Oladipo Olafunmiloye, a native and citizen of Nigeria,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reopen. We deny the
petition for review.
This court reviews the denial of a motion to reopen
removal proceedings for abuse of discretion. Mosere v. Mukasey,
552 F.3d 397, 400 (4th Cir. 2009) (citing INS v. Doherty, 502
U.S. 314, 323 (1992); Stewart v. INS, 181 F.3d 587, 595 (4th
Cir. 1999)). Motions to reopen are disfavored “in a deportation
proceeding, where, as a general matter, every delay works to the
advantage of the deportable alien who wishes merely to remain in
the United States.” Doherty, 502 U.S. at 323. We will reverse
the Board’s decision only if it is arbitrary, capricious, or
contrary to law. Barry v. Gonzales, 445 F.3d 741, 745 (4th Cir.
2006). Administrative findings of fact are conclusive unless
any reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the
contrary. 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B) (2006).
An alien may only file one motion to reopen removal
proceedings and he must file the motion within ninety days of
the final removal order, unless his motion “is based on changed
country conditions arising in the country . . . to which removal
has been ordered, if such evidence is material and was not
available and would not have been discovered or presented at the
2
previous proceeding.” 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7) (2006). It is
undisputed that Olafunmiloye’s motion was time-barred, unless he
could show changed country conditions based on material evidence
that was not available and could not have been discovered or
presented at his removal proceeding.
We find substantial evidence supports the Board’s
finding that Olafunmiloye did not show changed country
conditions with respect to either the particular group in which
he claims membership or because of his political opinion or one
that may be imputed to him because of his father’s activities.
The record evidence does not compel a different result.
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
