024094P.pdf   07/22/2004  Vitalik Boudaguian  v.  John D. Ashcroft
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-4094
   Agency   
   Petition for Review - Immigration. An order denying relief from 
   removal or deportation is final when issued and must be appealed within 
   the statutorily prescribed period; the filing of a motion to reopen and 
   reconsider does not toll the time for filing a petition for review; because 
   the petitioners did not file a timely petition for review of the underlying 
   order on their asylum claim, the only issue before the court was whether 
   the BIA abused its discretion in denying the motion to reopen or 
   reconsider; BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying motion to reopen 
   or reconsider.
