PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the decision of the Board of Immigration

Appeals affirming the Immigration Judge's decision denying Appel-

lant's motion to reopen his deportation proceedings. Our review of

the record discloses that the Board did not abuse its discretion

and is without reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the Board's
order and grant Appellee's motion for summary affirmance. Keita v.
INS, No. A70-504-292 (B.I.A. Dec. 5, 1997). 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
