Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Getachew Woldearegay, a native and citizen of Ethiopia,

petitions for review of an August 25, 2004 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 the motion to reopen. 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2005);

INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24 (1992); Yanez-Popp v. INS, 998

F.2d 231, 234 (4th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, we deny the petition

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.

PETITION DENIED
