1Opinion of the Court
SCHWARZER, Senior District Judge:
Jose Leandro Lainez-Ortiz petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”). The BIA dismissed Lainez-Ortiz’s appeal of the Immigration Judge’s ruling finding him deportable and denied his motion to reopen to file an initial application for asylum. Lainez-Ortiz challenges the BIA’s decision on the ground that the denial of his motion to reopen his deportation proceeding to apply for political asylum was an abuse of discretion. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1105a and deny the petition for review.
