PER CURIAM:

          Frehiwot Jemaneh, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, seeks

review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board)

denying her motion to reopen.   We have reviewed the administrative

record and conclude that the denial of the motion to reopen was not

an abuse of discretion.   See INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24

(1992).   Moreover, we find Jemaneh’s contention that the Board

violated her right to due process in denying reopening to be

without merit.   See Obioha v. Gonzales, 431 F.3d 400, 409 (4th Cir.

2005).

          We accordingly 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
