TAYE v. BARR (2020)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Mengistu TAYE, Petitioner, v. William P. BARR, Attorney General, Respondent.

No. 20-1200

Decided: September 18, 2020

Before WILKINSON, KEENAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Mengistu Taye, Petitioner Pro Se. Jessica Eden Burns, John Beadle Holt, Office of Immigration Litigation, Civil Division, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Mengistu Taye, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his motion to reopen. We have reviewed the administrative record and the Board's order and conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion as untimely and number-barred. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (2020). We therefore deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. In re Taye, (B.I.A. Jan. 31, 2020). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED

PER CURIAM:

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
