The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to
reconsider. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny
the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reconsider,
where petitioners did not show the BIA made an error of law or fact in its prior
decision. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (“A motion to reconsider shall state the reasons for
the motion by specifying the errors of fact or law in the prior Board decision and
shall be supported by pertinent authority.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
