Antonio M. Zaldana, LAW OFFICE OF ANTONIO M. ZALDANA, Los Angeles, California, for Petitioner. Peter D. Keisler, Assistant Attorney General, Jeffrey J. Bernstein, Senior Litigation Counsel, John E. Cunningham, III, Office of Immigration Litigation, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Ulisses M. Bastos, a native and citizen of Brazil,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reopen and remand to the

immigration judge to apply for asylum based upon changed

circumstances. We have reviewed the administrative record and the

Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion.

See INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24 (1992). Accordingly, we

deny the petition for review. 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
