PER CURIAM:
Iana Rata, a native and citizen of Moldova, and her
husband, derivative beneficiary Ara A. Tiratsvyan, petition for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board)
denying Rata’s motion to reopen as untimely and numerically
barred. We have reviewed the administrative record and Rata’s
claims, and conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion
in denying her motion. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2016);
Mosere v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 397, 400 (4th Cir. 2009). We
accordingly deny the petition for review for the reasons stated
by the Board. See In re Rata (B.I.A. Feb. 22, 2016). 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
