PER CURIAM:
Mulu Tekaligne Faji, a native and citizen of Ethiopia,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) denying a motion to reconsider a prior order,
which denied a motion to reopen an order affirming 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) (2006); 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 Faji, No. A96-097-
977 (B.I.A. Dec. 23, 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
