PER CURIAM:

      Esther       Kinobe    Mpungu   Nakagiri,        a    native       and     citizen    of

Uganda,      petitions       for   review    of   an       order    of     the    Board     of

Immigration        Appeals    (“Board”)      dismissing       her    appeal        from    the

immigration judge’s order denying her motion to reopen.                             We have

thoroughly reviewed the record, including the relevant orders,

Nakagiri’s affidavit, and the various supporting exhibits, and

conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion.                               See INS

v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323–24 (1992); Mosere v. Mukasey, 552

F.3d 397, 400 (4th Cir. 2009); Barry v. Gonzales, 445 F.3d 741,

747 (4th Cir. 2006); see also 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(3) (2014).

Further, we lack jurisdiction to review the Board’s decision not

to sua sponte reopen Nakagiri’s removal proceedings.                                Mosere,

552   F.3d    at    400–01.        Accordingly,     we      deny    the     petition       for

review for the reasons stated by the Board.                        See In re: Nakagiri

(B.I.A. May 22, 2014).              We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials     before     this      court    and   argument         would    not    aid     the

decisional process.

                                                                         PETITION DENIED
