On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. (A70-310-741)

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ozo Obadiah Nwabuoku, Petitioner Pro Se. Daniel Eric Goldman, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Ozo Obadiah Nwabuoku, a native and citizen of Nigeria,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (“Board”) denying 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

Nwabuoku’s motion to reopen as untimely. See 8 U.S.C.A.

§ 1229a(c)(7)(C)(i) (West 2005 & Supp. 2006); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a)

(2006). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the

reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Nwabuoku, No. A70-310-741

(B.I.A. Feb. 14, 2006). We also deny Nwabuoku’s pending motion for

appointment of counsel. 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
