Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A73 083 867

Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Maria Guadalupe Gonzalez-Rubio (Rubio) has petitioned this
court to review the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order denying
her motions to reopen her deportation proceeding. Pursuant to
FED. R. APP. P. 28(a)(9)(A), the appellant’s argument must contain
the reasons for the requested relief with citation to the
authorities, statutes, and parts of the record upon which she
relies. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993).

Rubio’s brief fails to meet this standard. The brief
contains unsupported, conclusional assertions, does not present
any argument or analysis, and does not provide sufficient legal
citations to support Rubio’s assertions. The petition for review
is DENIED, and we caution counsel that the filing of such an
inadequate brief in the future will invite the imposition of
sanctions.
PETITION DENIED.
