PER CURIAM:

      Patricia Elethia Dillon-Bonaparte, a native and citizen of

Jamaica,   petitions   for   review       of   an   order   of    the    Board   of

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

previous decision of July 4, 2004.              That decision vacated the

immigration judge’s grant of a good-faith marriage waiver to

Dillon-Bonaparte pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1186a(c)(4)(B) (2000) and

ordered her removal from the United States.             In her brief before

this court, Dillon-Bonaparte presents challenges to the Board’s

initial order of July 4, 2004, rather than raising arguments that

the   Board   abused   its   discretion        in   denying      her    motion   to

reconsider.     However, Dillon-Bonaparte failed to petition for

review of that initial order.         See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1) (2000)

(petition for review must be filed within 30 days of final order of

removal); Stone v. INS, 514 U.S. 386, 394 (1995) (holding that the

timely filing of a motion to reconsider with the Board does not

toll the thirty-day period for seeking review of the underlying

order).    Accordingly, we find that Dillon-Bonaparte has abandoned

the only issue that she could properly raise on appeal, and we

therefore dismiss the petition for review. Given this disposition,

we deny the Attorney General’s motion to dismiss as moot.                        We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions




                                      2
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                 PETITION DISMISSED
