- 2 - PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated petitions for review, Abraham

Lalawi, a native and citizen of Indonesia who claims he is a

Christian of Chinese ethnicity, seeks review of orders issued by

the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his motion to

reopen removal proceedings (No. 04-2518) and denying his motion to

reconsider that order (No. 05-1154). We have reviewed the

administrative record and conclude the Board did not abuse its

discretion in denying Lalawi’s motions. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a),

(b) (2005).

We accordingly deny the petitions for review. 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.

PETITIONS DENIED
