UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 05-1430

ANDREW MIIRO,

Petitioner,

versus

ALBERTO R. GONZALES, Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. (A74-642-948)

Submitted: November 16, 2005 Decided: December 6, 2005

Before MICHAEL, MOTZ, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Fatai A. Suleman, AMOROW & KUM, P.A., Takoma Park, Maryland, for Petitioner. Peter D. Keisler, Assistant Attorney General, Douglas E. Ginsburg, Senior Litigation Counsel, John D. Williams, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

Andrew Miiro, a native and citizen of Uganda, petitions

for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board)

denying as untimely his 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 denying the motion to reopen.

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: Miiro, No. A74-642-948 (B.I.A. Mar. 24, 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
