Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:
Bozena Gossett, a native and citizen of the Czech
Republic, petitions for review of an order of the immigration
judge, as affirmed by the Board of Immigration Appeals, denying her
motion to reopen. Our review of the denial of a motion to reopen
is extremely deferential, and the decision will not be reversed
absent abuse of discretion. Stewart v. INS,
181 F.3d 587, 595(4th
Cir. 1999). Such motions are disfavored. INS v. Doherty,
502 U.S. 314, 323(1992). We have reviewed the administrative record and
conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion in affirming
the immigration judge’s denial of the motion to reopen. 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.
