PER CURIAM:

            Miliyon A. Ethiopis, a native of Ethiopia, petitions

for   review     of    an   order   of       the    Board     of       Immigration      Appeals

(Board)    denying      his   motion     to        reopen    as    untimely.          We    have

reviewed   the     administrative        record        and       Ethiopis’       contentions,

and conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion in

denying    his    motion.       See      8    C.F.R.        § 1003.2(a)       (2012).         We

accordingly deny the petition for review for the reasons stated

by the Board.          See In re: Ethiopis (B.I.A. May 11, 2012).                             We

dispense    with       oral   argument         because           the     facts    and      legal

contentions      are    adequately       presented          in    the     materials      before

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.


                                                                           PETITION DENIED
