Full Opinion
MEMORANDUM ** Ricardo Franco Colunga and Maria Guadalupe Aguilar Valenzuela, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying their motion to reconsider the BIA’s order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s (“LJ”) denial of their applications for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider, Can o-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir.2002). We deny the petition for. review. The BIA was within its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to reconsider because the motion failed to identify any error of fact or law in the BIA’s prior decision affirming the IJ’s order denying cancellation of removal. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (b)(1); Socop-Gonzalez v. INS, 272 F.3d 1176 , 1180 n. 2 (9th Cir.2001) (en banc). PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
