Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Ozo Obadiah Nwabuoku, a native and citizen of Nigeria, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("Board") denying his motion to reopen immigration

proceedings. We have reviewed the record and the Board's order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying Nwabuoku's motion to reopen as untimely. See 8 U.S.C.A.

§ 1229a(c)(7)(C)(i) (West 2005 & Supp. 2006); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2006). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the See In re: Nwabuoku, No. A70-310-741

reasons stated by the Board.

(B.I.A. Feb. 14, 2006). We also deny Nwabuoku's pending motion for appointment of counsel. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal before contentions the court are and adequately argument presented not in aid the the

materials

would

decisional process.
