PER CURIAM:

           Rogelio     Ramirez,        a    native     and       citizen    of   Mexico,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals   (“Board”)       dismissing        his    appeal    from    the    immigration

judge’s   denial     of    his    second      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 Ramirez’s motion.                See INS v. Doherty, 
502 U.S. 314
,

323-24 (1992).     Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for

the   reasons   stated     by    the   Board.         See    In    re:     Ramirez,    No.

A70-674-170     (B.I.A.    Oct.    18,      2004).*         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




      *
      In his brief, Ramirez challenges the fact that his decision
was rendered by a single Board member without following the proper
regulations based on his mistaken belief that his case was decided
pursuant to the regulatory procedures governing orders that
summarily affirm without opinion.     Instead, Ramirez’s case was
decided by a single Board member pursuant to 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.1(e)(5) (2005). Thus, we find that Ramirez’s claim that the
Board failed to follow its own regulations is clearly without
merit.
