Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ronald D. Richey, LAW OFFICE OF RONALD D. RICHEY, Rockville, Maryland, for Petitioner. Tony West, Assistant Attorney General, Mary Jane Candaux, Assistant Director, Michael C. Heyse, Office of Immigration Litigation, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Barbara Coston, a native and citizen of Ghana,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (“Board”) denying her motion to reissue its decision of

April 29, 2010, which upheld the immigration judge’s denial of

Coston’s application for adjustment of status. We have reviewed

the record and the Board’s order and find that the Board did not

abuse its discretion in denying the motion. See Ping Chen v.

U.S. Att’y Gen.,

502 F.3d 73, 75

(2d Cir. 2007) (finding that a

motion to reissue is treated as a motion to reopen and reviewed

for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we deny the petition for

review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Coston

(B.I.A. Jan. 20, 2011). 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.
