PER CURIAM:

           Taddese Ayele Seyoum, a native and citizen of Ethiopia,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (Board) denying a motion to reopen.       We have reviewed the

administrative record and the Board’s order and find that the Board

did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reopen.         See

INS v. Doherty, 

, 323-24 (1992).       Accordingly, we deny

the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board.          See

In re Seyoum, A95-899-567 (B.I.A. Apr. 7, 2005).        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
