## Opinion text

PER CURIAM:
Ayaba Mana Messan, a native and citizen of Togo, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying her motion to reconsider its prior order, which adopted and affirmed the immigration judge’s denial of her requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reconsider. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (a) (2006); Jean v. Gonzales, 435 F.3d 475 , 481 (4th Cir.2006). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Messan, No. A96-081-822 (B.I.A. Apr. 27, 2006). 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.
