PER CURIAM.
Guatemalan citizen Byron Alexander Mejia-Lopez petitions for review of an
order of the Board of Immigration Appeals denying his untimely motion to reopen
and reconsider. Upon careful consideration of the petition and the record, we find no
basis for reversal. See Sukhov v. Gonzales, 403 F.3d 568, 570 (8th Cir. 2005)
(motions to reopen and reconsider are reviewed for abuse of discretion).
The petition is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
