United States Eighth Circuit

Petition for review of the BIA's denial of a second motion to reopen asylum proceedings is dismissed over petitioner's claims that the BIA: 1) abused its discretion by denying his motion to reopen proceedings, sua sponte, based on exceptional circumstances; and 2) violated the Due Process Clause by denying his motion as petitioner pointed to nothing which suggested the proceedings were not fundamentally fair.
