PER CURIAM:

            Kpegnon      Assoumanou,     a    native    and    citizen          of   Togo,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

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

judge’s    decision      denying   her       motion    to     reopen.           We    have

thoroughly reviewed the motion, including Assoumanou’s affidavit

and the various documentary 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); see also 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(3) (2014).                      We are without

jurisdiction to review the Board’s decision not to sua sponte

reopen     the   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: Assoumanou (B.I.A. Jan. 31,

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
