UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 03-2262

ENQUE SHIFERAW,

Petitioner,

versus

JOHN ASHCROFT, U.S. Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. (A78-343-175)

Submitted: May 3, 2004 Decided: June 10, 2004

Before WIDENER, WILKINSON, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Oti W. Nwosu, Arthur D. Wright, III, Washington, D.C., for Petitioner. Peter D. Keisler, Assistant Attorney General, David V. Bernal, Assistant Director, Russell J.E. Verby, Office of Immigration Litigation, Civil Division, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

Enque Shiferaw, a native and citizen of Ethiopia,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (Board) denying her motion to reopen removal proceedings.

We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the

Board did not abuse its discretion in denying Shiferaw’s motion to

reopen. 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: Shiferaw, No. A78-343-

175 (BIA Sept. 23, 2003). 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
