United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit F I L E D IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT January 3, 2006 Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk No. 04-60594 Summary Calendar BALJIT SINGH, Petitioner, versus ALBERTO R. GONZALES, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, Respondent. -------------------Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals BIA No. A78 197 055 -------------------Before JOLLY, DAVIS and OWEN, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Baljit Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions this court to review a decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying a motion to reopen removal proceedings. Singh, who is a Sikh and hails from Punjab, argues that conditions in India have changed because the Congress Party, which has historically committed atrocities against the Sikhs, is now in power. He also contends that the original decision denying his applications for asylum and withholding of removal were in error. * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 04-60594 -2Singh has failed to show that there is a reasonable likelihood that he would be granted relief at the reopened hearing. Guevara Flores v. INS, 786 F.2d 1242, 1247 (5th Cir. 1985). See He has therefore failed to show that the BIA abused its discretion in denying his motion to reopen. See Pritchett v. INS, 993 F.2d 80, 83 (5th Cir. 1993). Singh s petition for review is DENIED.
