PER CURIAM:

          Tesfaye   Teferi,   a   native   and    citizen   of   Ethiopia,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (Board).    The order denied his motion to reconsider the

Board’s denial of his motion to reopen.            We have reviewed the

record and the Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse

its discretion in denying Teferi’s motion to reconsider.            See 8

C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2004).    Accordingly, we deny the petition for

review on the reasoning of the Board.            See In re: Teferi, No.

A76-898-259 (BIA Feb. 17, 2004).     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.
