PER CURIAM:

           Sadio Diallo, a native and citizen of Guinea, petitions

for   review   of    an   order   of   the   Board   of   Immigration   Appeals

(“Board”) denying her motion to reconsider its previous order,

which affirmed, without opinion, the immigration judge’s denial of

Diallo’s requests for asylum and withholding of removal.                Because

Diallo failed to raise any issues pertaining to the propriety of

the Board’s denial of her motion to reconsider in the argument

section of her brief, we find that she has failed to preserve any

issues for review.          See Fed. R. App. P. 28(a)(9)(A) (“[T]he

argument . . . must contain        . . . appellant’s contentions and the

reasons for them, with citations to the authorities and parts of

the record on which the appellant relies.”); Edwards v. City of

Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 241 n.6 (4th Cir. 1999) (“Failure to

comply with the specific dictates of [Rule 28] with respect to a

particular claim triggers abandonment of that claim on appeal.”).

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated

by the Board.       See In re: Diallo, No. A97-622-486 (B.I.A. Oct. 11,

2005).   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
