2 PER CURIAM:

Maria Lourdes Barbara Flores, a native and citizen of

the Philippines, seeks review of orders of the Board of

Immigration Appeals (Board) denying her motions to reopen. We

have reviewed Flores’ arguments and find no abuse of discretion

in the Board’s decisions denying her motions to reopen. See 8

C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2008); Afanwi v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 788 (4th

Cir. 2008). To the extent Flores challenges the underlying

decision of the Immigration Judge that was previously affirmed

by the Board, those orders have already been reviewed by this

court and are otherwise not part of the instant consolidated

petitions for review. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(2) (2006); Stone

v. INS, 514 U.S. 386, 405 (1995).

Accordingly, we deny in part and dismiss in part the

petitions for review. 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.
