PER CURIAM:

            Metasebya   Kassa    Mekonen,      a    native    and    citizen      of

Ethiopia,   petitions   for     review    of   an   order    of    the    Board   of

Immigration Appeals (Board) denying her motion to reconsider.

We have reviewed the administrative record and find no abuse of

discretion in the denial of relief on Mekonen’s motion.                      See 8

C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2009).        We accordingly deny the petition for

review for the reasons stated by the Board.                 See In re: Mekonen

(B.I.A. June 12, 2009).       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

                                     2
