PER CURIAM:

     Babatunde Fadahunsi petitions this court for review of the

Board of Immigration Appeals' decision dismissing his appeal from

the immigration judge's denial of his motion to reopen deportation

proceedings. Our review of the record discloses that there was no

abuse of discretion in the Board's decision. Accordingly, we affirm
on the reasoning of the Board. Fadahunsi v. INS, No. A70-506-964
(B.I.A. Apr. 11, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
