PER CURIAM:

     Jobson O. Omolewa seeks review of the Board of Immigration

Appeals’ (“Board”) decision and order denying his motion to reopen

immigration proceedings. We have reviewed the administrative record

and the Board’s decision and find no abuse of discretion.    See 8

C.F.R. § 3.2(a) (2002); INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24

(1992).   Accordingly, we deny Omolewa’s petition for review on the

reasoning of the Board. See In re: Omolewa, No. A28-290-039 (B.I.A.

June 17, 2002).   We deny Omolewa’s motion for stay of removal.   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
