PER CURIAM:
Jesinta N. Vefonge, a native and citizen of Cameroon,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) denying her motion to reopen or reconsider its
previous decision affirming the immigration judge’s denial of her
applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection
under the Convention Against Torture. We have reviewed the record
and the Board’s order and find no abuse of discretion.
Accordingly, as to the claims over which we retain jurisdiction,*
we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the
Board. See In re: Vefonge, No. A77-892-899 (B.I.A. July 28, 2004).
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
*
On December 9, 2004, we granted the Attorney General’s motion
for partial dismissal of the petition for review on the ground that
we lack jurisdiction to review the Board’s finding that Vefonge’s
asylum application was untimely filed and to review the denial of
her request for voluntary departure.
