PER CURIAM:

           Carol   Amaka      Ume,   a   native   and   citizen   of   Nigeria,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (“Board”) denying her motion to reconsider its denial of

her motion to reopen removal proceedings.*              We have reviewed the

administrative record and the Board’s order and find that the Board

did not abuse its discretion.            See INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314,

323-24 (1992).     Additionally, we conclude that Ume’s due process

claim is without merit.        See Blanco de Belbruno v. Ashcroft, 362

F.3d 272, 278 (4th Cir. 2004); Rusu v. INS, 296 F.3d 316, 321-22,

324 (4th Cir. 2002). 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




      *
      While we lack jurisdiction to review the Board’s denial of
Ume’s motion to reopen because she did not petition for review of
that order within thirty days, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1) (2000), we
conclude that we have jurisdiction to review the Board’s order
denying the motion to reconsider.      See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(6)
(2000); Stone v. INS, 514 U.S. 386, 393 (1995) (concluding that
when “amending the [Immigration and Nationality Act] Congress chose
to depart from the ordinary judicial treatment of agency orders
under reconsideration”).
