Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Fasil Atle Desta, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("Board") denying his motion to reconsider a prior order of the Board denying a motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have reviewed the administrative record and find no abuse of discretion in the Board's order. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2007) (standard of review); Jean v. Gonzales, 435 F.3d 475, 481, 482-83 (4th Cir.

2006) (same). We therefore deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Desta, No. A97-204-006 (B.I.A. May 18, 2007). 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
