ISRAEL GHIGBU IWUOHA,

Petitioner,

versus

JOHN ASHCROFT, Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. (A70-510-853)

Submitted: September 20, 2004 Decided: September 29, 2004

Before WILLIAMS, MICHAEL, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Lloyd F. Ukwu, Washington, D.C., for Petitioner. Peter D. Keisler, Assistant Attorney General, Richard M. Evans, Assistant Director, Nancy E. Friedman, OFFICE OF IMMIGRATION LITIGATION, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Israel Ghigbu Iwuoha, a native and citizen of Nigeria,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (Board) denying his motion to reopen deportation

proceedings. We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and

find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying

Iwuoha’s motion to reopen. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a), (c)(2)

(2004); INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24 (1992). Accordingly,

we deny the petition for review on the reasoning of the Board. See

In re: Iwuoha, No. A70-510-853 (B.I.A. Dec. 3, 2003). 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
