Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Lemlem Siemegn Mitike, a native and citizen of Ethiopia,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

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

her motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have reviewed the

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

did not abuse its discretion. See INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314,

323-24 (1992). Accordingly, we deny the petition 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.

PETITION DENIED
