PER CURIAM:

          Bozena    Gossett,   a   native   and    citizen    of   the   Czech

Republic, petitions for review of an order of the immigration

judge, as affirmed by the Board of Immigration Appeals, denying her

motion to reopen.    Our review of the denial of a motion to reopen

is extremely deferential, and the decision will not be reversed

absent abuse of discretion.    Stewart v. INS, 181 F.3d 587, 595 (4th

Cir. 1999).   Such motions are disfavored.        INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S.

314, 323 (1992).    We have reviewed the administrative record and

conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion in affirming

the immigration judge’s denial of the motion to reopen.                    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
