PER CURIAM:

           Fanaye   Woudneh,   a   native   and   citizen    of   Ethiopia,

petitions for review of a final order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals   (Board)    denying   her    motion   to   reopen    deportation

proceedings based on a claim for protection under the United

Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or

Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

           Woudneh contends that the Board abused its discretion in

declining to reopen her case to allow her to present her CAT claim.

See Stewart v. INS, 

, 595 (4th Cir. 1999).             We have

reviewed the administrative record and the Board’s decision and

find no abuse of discretion in its refusal to grant the motion to

reopen.   See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1) (2003); INS v. Abudu, 

, 104-05 (1988).

           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
