   PER CURIAM:

Jesinta N. Yefonge, 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. [ AXX-XXX-XXX ] (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.
