PER CURIAM:
Orobola Oladokun, a native and citizen of Nigeria,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) denying her motion to reopen. The Board denied
the motion because it was untimely and she failed to show her
counsel’s conduct was prejudicial. The Board further noted
Oladokun did not challenge the central issue resulting in the
denial of her application for suspension of deportation. Because
Oladokun’s brief filed in this court does not challenge the
dispositive issues with respect to the denial of her motion to
reopen, she has abandoned these issues. See United States v. Al-
Hamdi, 356 F.3d 564, 571 n.8 (4th Cir. 2004); Edwards v. City of
Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 241 n.6 (4th Cir. 1999). Accordingly,
this court will not review the issues. The petition for review is
denied. We also deny the motion for summary affirmance. 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
