RACHEL JEAN LAURENCE MBODO,

Petitioner,

versus

ALBERTO R. GONZALES, Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. (A95-886-666)

Submitted: March 27, 2006 Decided: April 10, 2006

Before NIEMEYER and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Steven Kreiss, Washington, D.C., for Petitioner. Peter D. Keisler, Assistant Attorney General, M. Jocelyn Lopez Wright, Assistant Director, Larry P. Cote, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Rachel Jean Laurence Mbodo, a native and citizen of

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

Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying her motion to reconsider its

prior order, which adopted and affirmed the immigration judge’s

denial of her requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and

protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have reviewed

the record and the Board’s order and find that the Board did not

abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reconsider. See 8

C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2005); Jean v. Gonzales, 435 F.3d 475, 481 (4th

Cir. 2006). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the

reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Mbodo, No. A95-886-666

(B.I.A. Jan. 24, 2005). 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
