Sadio DIALLO, Petitioner, v. Alberto R. GONZALES, Attorney General, Respondent, 203 F. App'x 512

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. [ AXX-XXX-XXX ] (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.
