Barr, Attorney General of the United States lllllllllllllllllllllRespondent ____________ Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ____________ Submitted: March 27, 2019 Filed: April 8, 2019 [Unpublished] ____________ Before BENTON, BOWMAN, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Kenyan citizen Esnath Ochweri petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) dismissing her appeal from a decision in which an immigration judge denied her motion to reopen. After careful review, we conclude the BIA’s denial was not an abuse of discretion. See Averianova v. Holder, 592 F.3d 931, 936-37 (8th Cir. 2010) (discussing the standard of review for motions to reopen); 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(i), (ii). Accordingly, the petition is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ -2-
