PER CURIAM:

Patra Wuraola Akinwande, a native and citizen of Nigeria,

petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“Board”)

order denying her motion to reconsider the denial of a motion to

reconsider. We deny the petition for review.

Akinwande devotes her entire brief to the Board’s October

28, 2003 order dismissing her appeal from the immigration judge’s

decision denying relief. Because Akinwande did not file a timely

petition for review from that order, this court is without

jurisdiction to conduct a review. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1)

(2000); Stone v. INS, 514 U.S. 386, 405 (1995).

Because Akinwande may not file a motion to reconsider an

order denying a motion to reconsider, the Board did not abuse its

discretion denying the motion. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(2) (2005).

Accordingly, 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
