          Of the Ninth Circuit, sitting by designation.
            FARRIS, Circuit Judge.     Susan Mukasa, a native and

citizen of Uganda, petitions for review of an order by the Board of

Immigration Appeals denying her motion to reopen her removal

proceedings. Mukasa entered the United States on December 25, 2000

using a false passport.

            She applied for asylum, withholding of removal, and

protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture, all

of which were denied. In moving to reopen, Mukasa asserted changed

country conditions and offered additional evidence.

            We review the Board’s denial of a motion to reopen for

abuse of discretion. Guerrero-Santana v. Gonzales, 

, 92

(1st Cir. 2007).    Under this standard, the Board’s decision will

stand unless the petitioner can show that it rests on an error of

law or that it is patently arbitrary.     

            We have carefully reviewed the record along with Mukasa’s

new allegations.    She fails to challenge the adverse credibility

finding.    Her motion to reopen does nothing to rehabilitate the

finding that her testimony was not credible, nor does it present a

distinct new claim.

AFFIRMED.
