PER CURIAM:
Frehiwot Tafesse, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions
this court for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (Board) denying her motion to reconsider the denial of her
untimely motion to reopen. We have reviewed the record and the
Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion
in denying the motion to reconsider. 8 C.F.R. § 3.2(a), (b)(1)
(2001); Matter of Cerna, 20 I. & N. Dec. 399 (BIA 1991). We
accordingly affirm the Board’s order. We grant Respondent’s motion
for leave to file answering brief out of time, and 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.
AFFIRMED
