PER CURIAM:

           Rosa Tibau Ponce, a native and citizen of Ecuador and

a citizen of Spain, petitions for review of an order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying her motion to

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

conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying

the motion.    See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a), (c) (2013).             Accordingly,

although we grant Friends of Rule of Law in Ecuador’s motion to

file an amicus curiae brief, we deny the petition for review.

See In re: Tibau Ponce (B.I.A. Nov. 15, 2013).               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
