PER CURIAM:
Misrak Ayalew, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions for
review from the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“Board”) order
denying her motion to reconsider and reconsider en banc. We have
reviewed the administrative record and the Board’s order and find
that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying Ayalew’s
motion to reconsider. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2003); INS v.
Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24 (1992). Accordingly, we deny the
petition for review on the reasoning of the Board. See In re:
Ayalew, No. A77-881-300 (B.I.A. Sept. 24, 2002). 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
