Eding v. Gonzales

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 04-1997 PAULE NADEGE MBONJI EDING; ASTRID EDING, Petitioners, versus ALBERTO R. GONZALES, Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. (A95-218-876; A95-225-199) Submitted: April 20, 2005 Decided: May 2, 2005 Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Joshua A. Moses, JOSHUA MOSES & ASSOCIATES, Silver Spring, Maryland, for Petitioners. Peter D. Keisler, Assistant Attorney General, M. Jocelyn Lopez Wright, Assistant Director, Michele Y. F. Sarko, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Sisters Paule Nadege Mbonji Eding and Astrid Eding, natives and citizens of Cameroon, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying their motion to reopen its previous order affirming the immigration judge’s denial of asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the Edings’ motion. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2004). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review on the reasoning of the Board. See In re: Eding, No. A95-218-876; No. A95-225-199 (B.I.A. July 15, 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.
