Moussa Tchiani v. Loretta Lynch

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 15-1336 MOUSSA BOUKARI TCHIANI, Petitioner, v. LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. Submitted: December 16, 2015 Decided: December 21, 2015 Before GREGORY, DUNCAN, and WYNN, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. William H. Brammer, Jr., NEW COLUMBIA LAW GROUP PLLC, Washington, D.C., for Petitioner. Benjamin C. Mizer, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Jennifer P. Levings, Senior Litigation Counsel, Carmel A. Morgan, OFFICE OF IMMIGRATION LITIGATION, Washington, D.C., for Respondent. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Moussa Boukari Tchiani, a native and citizen of Niger, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his motion to reopen as untimely and numerically barred. We have reviewed the administrative record and Tchiani’s claims, and conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying Tchiani’s motion. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2015); Mosere v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 397, 400 (4th Cir. 2009). We accordingly deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Tchiani (B.I.A. Mar. 3, 2015). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. PETITION DENIED 2
