PER CURIAM

Petitioners Antonieta Marta Romero-Diaz and her minor son, W.A.E., natives and citizens of Guatemala, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals denying Romero-Diaz's motion for reconsideration of the Board's prior order affirming the immigration judge's oral decision denying all forms of relief. Upon review of the record, we discern no abuse of discretion in the Board's rationale for denying the motion to reconsider. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2022); Mejia-Velasquez v. Garland, 26 F.4th 193, 205 (4th Cir. 2022) (providing standard of review and explaining that the Board abuses its discretion only if it "acted arbitrarily, irrationally, or contrary to law" (internal quotation marks omitted)). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. See In re Romero-Diaz (B.I.A. Oct. 12, 2022). 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.
