BALJIT SINGH,
Petitioner,
versus
ALBERTO R. GONZALES, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL,
Respondent.
--------------------
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A78 197 055
--------------------
Before JOLLY, DAVIS and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Baljit Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions this
court to review a decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals
(BIA) denying a motion to reopen removal proceedings. Singh, who
is a Sikh and hails from Punjab, argues that conditions in India
have changed because the Congress Party, which has historically
committed atrocities against the Sikhs, is now in power. He also
contends that the original decision denying his applications for
asylum and withholding of removal were in error.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
No. 04-60594
-2-
Singh has failed to show that there is a reasonable likelihood
that he would be granted relief at the reopened hearing. See
Guevara Flores v. INS, 786 F.2d 1242, 1247 (5th Cir. 1985). He has
therefore failed to show that the BIA abused its discretion in
denying his motion to reopen. See Pritchett v. INS, 993 F.2d 80,
83 (5th Cir. 1993).
Singh’s petition for review is DENIED.
