    Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

   PER CURIAM:

Yoseph Nigatu Bezabeh, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his motion to reopen immigration proceedings.

A denial of a motion to reopen is reviewed for abuse of discretion. INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24, 112 S.Ct. 719, 116 L.Ed.2d 823 (1992). A denial of a motion to reopen must be reviewed with extreme deference, since immigration statutes do not contemplate reopening and the applicable regulations disfavor motions to reopen. M.A. v. INS, 899 F.2d 304, 308 (4th Cir.1990) (en banc).

The Board ruled that Bezabeh did not warrant the exercise of favorable discretion because he did not produce evidence sufficient to overcome the immigration judge’s adverse credibility finding. We have reviewed the evidence of record and conclude that Bezabeh fails to show that the evidence compels a contrary result. Accordingly, we find that no abuse of discretion occurred, and therefore 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.
