PER CURIAM:
Yodit Amanuel, a native and citizen of Ethiopia,
petitions for review from an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) denying her motion to reconsider.* We have
reviewed the administrative record and the Board’s order and find
that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying Amanuel’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:
Amanuel, No. A75-376-845 (B.I.A. May 7, 2003). 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
*
We conclude we lack jurisdiction to review the Board’s denial
of Amanuel’s motion to reopen because she did not petition for
review of that order within thirty days. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)
(2000).
