See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

       Misrak Ayalew, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions for

review from the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“Board”) order

denying her motion to reconsider and reconsider en banc.          We have

reviewed the administrative record and the Board’s order and find

that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying Ayalew’s

motion to reconsider.        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:

Ayalew, No. A77-881-300 (B.I.A. Sept. 24, 2002).          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
