    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit denied Ousman M. Sillah's petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' (BIA) denial of his untimely motion to reopen immigration proceedings. The Court reviewed the record and the BIA's order and found that the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reopen as it was filed after the regulatory deadline. The Court thus denied Sillah's petition for the same reasons provided by the BIA.

    PER CURIAM:
    Ousman

    M.

    Sillah,

    native

    citizen

    of

    Gambia,

    petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration


    Appeals

    (Board)

    denying

    immigration proceedings.

    as

    untimely

    his

    motion

    to

    reopen

    We have reviewed the record and the

    Boards order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion
    in denying the motion to reopen.

    See INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314,

    323-24 (1992); 8 C.F.R. 1003.23(b)(4)(ii) (2006).

    Accordingly,

    we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the
    Board.

    See In Re: Sillah, No. A72-000-231 (B.I.A. June 3, 2005).

    We deny Sillahs Motion for Stay of Proceedings and 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
