Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Arthur Luma Becke, a native and citizen of Cameroon, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("Board") denying his motion to reconsider its prior order, which denied Becke's motion to reopen removal proceedings based on changed country conditions in Cameroon. We have reviewed the

record and the Board's order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reconsider. See 8 C.F.R.

§ 1003.2(a) (2008); Jean v. Gonzales, 435 F.3d 475, 481 (4th Cir. 2006). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the See In re: Becke (B.I.A. Nov. 13,

reasons stated by the Board. 2007).

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
