PER CURIAM:
Maria Guadalupe Gomez-Lemuz, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals denying her motion to reissue the
Board’s decision of March 3, 2023, which upheld the immigration judge’s denial of
Gomez-Lemuz’s applications for relief from removal and denied Gomez-Lemuz’s motion
for remand. Upon consideration of the parties’ arguments on appeal, in conjunction with
the record and relevant authorities, we discern no abuse of discretion in the Board’s order
denying the motion to reissue. Accord Ping Chen v. U.S. Att’y Gen., 502 F.3d 73, 75 (2d
Cir. 2007) (explaining that a motion to reissue is treated as a motion to reopen and reviewed
for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. See In re Gomez-
Lemuz (B.I.A. Oct. 13, 2023).
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
