PER CURIAM:

           Mesert Hailu Bedasso, a native and citizen of Ethiopia,

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

Bedasso’s motion to reopen.         See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2003);

INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24 (1992).          Accordingly, we deny

the petition for review on the reasoning of the Board.          See In re:

Hailu, No. A75-381-424 (B.I.A. July 31, 2003).           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
