Edward Henry Lombana-Cano v. U.S. Attorney General

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Edward Henry Lombana-Cano, a native and citizen of Colombia, petitions this Court to review the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals that denied Lom *900 bana-Cano’s motion to reconsider. We deny the petition.

Lombana-Cano failed to specify in his motion to reconsider any errors of fact and law in the decision of the Board. In his motion, Lombana-Cano repeated the arguments from his appeal that he had suffered past persecution and feared future persecution on account of a political opinion that the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia attributed to him as a dentist working for the Colombian government. Lombana-Cano v. U.S. Att’y Gen., 360 Fed.Appx. 70, 70-71 (11th Cir. 2010). By “merely reiterating arguments previously presented to the [Board],” Lombana-Cano failed to “ ‘specify! ] ... errors of fact or law’ as required for a successful motion to reconsider.” Calle v. U.S. Att’y Gen., 504 F.3d 1324, 1329 (11th Cir. 2007) (quoting 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1)). The Board did not abuse its discretion by denying Lombana-Cano’s motion to reconsider.

Lombana-Cano’s petition for review is DENIED.
