TSEHAY HAYLE EYOB,
Petitioner,
versus
JOHN ASHCROFT, U.S. Attorney General,
Respondent.
--------------------
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A76-916-248
--------------------
Before JONES, BARKSDALE and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Tsehay Hayle Eyob has filed a petition for review of a
decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying her
motion for reconsideration of its previous decision denying her
motion to reopen removal proceedings to apply for adjustment of
status. Eyob contends that the BIA erred in denying her motion
because (1) she was still statutorily eligible for adjustment of
status as her voluntary-departure period had not expired; and (2)
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
No. 03-61036
-2-
the BIA incorrectly construed the evidence submitted with her
motion for reconsideration as a second motion to reopen.
Eyob has not shown that the BIA abused its discretion in
denying her motion for reconsideration of the denial of her
motion to reopen removal proceedings. See Osuchukwu v. INS, 744
F.2d 1136, 1141 (5th Cir. 1984). Nor has Eyob shown that the BIA
erred by construing the evidence she submitted with her motion
for reconsideration as a second motion to reopen. Accordingly,
the petition for review of the BIA’s decision is DENIED. Eyob’s
motions for stays of deportation and voluntary departure are also
DENIED.
