PER CURIAM:

     Victoria Ekgh-Njoku seeks review of the Board of Immigration

Appeals’ (“Board”) decision and order denying her motion to reopen

to apply for adjustment of status under § 245(a) of the Immigration

and Nationality Act, codified at 8 U.S.C.A. § 1255(a) (West 1999).

Our review of the record discloses that the Board properly denied

Ekgh-Njoku’s motion to reopen and that this appeal is without

merit.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board.   See

Ekgh-Njoku v. INS, No. A24-876-363 (B.I.A. Mar. 10, 2000).       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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
