Tchenkwo v. Gonzales

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 04-2559 JULIANA NANDA TCHENKWO, Petitioner, versus ALBERTO R. GONZALES, Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. (A95-533-869) Submitted: June 15, 2005 Decided: June 27, 2005 Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Bokwe G. Mofor, Silver Spring, Maryland, for Petitioner. Peter D. Keisler, Assistant Attorney General, M. Jocelyn Lopez Wright, Assistant Director, 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 Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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: Juliana Nanda Tchenkwo, a native and citizen of Cameroon, seeks review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying her motion to reconsider, filed pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1) (2005). Tchenkwo’s petition for review is timely only as to the Board’s order denying reconsideration. 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1) (2000) (petition for review must be filed within thirty days of final order of removal); see Stone v. INS, 514 U.S. 386, 394-95 (1995) (holding order of removal and denial of motion to reconsider are separate final orders, each subject to relevant time limit for seeking review). We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion for reconsideration. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2005). Therefore, we deny the petition for review. 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
