PER CURIAM:

          Ahmat Djibrine Ousmane, a native and citizen of Chad,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reopen as untimely.    We

have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the

Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion.   See 8

C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2008).    Accordingly, we deny the petition

for review substantially for the reasons stated by the Board.

See In re: Ousmane (B.I.A. May 13, 2008).   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
