PER CURIAM:

              Hawa Diallo Tucker, a native and citizen of Guinea,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals   (“Board”)     denying       her    motion   to    reopen    immigration

proceedings. We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and

find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying

Tucker’s motion on the alternate ground that she failed to present

clear and convincing evidence indicating a strong likelihood that

her marriage is bona fide as required by Matter of Velarde-Pacheco,

23 I. & N. Dec. 253 (B.I.A. 2002).                 Accordingly, we 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
