Akter v. Gonzales
Akter v. Gonzales
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
Petitioner Nazma Akter
We review the BIA’s denial of a motion to reconsider for abuse of discretion. Zhong Guang Sun v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 421 F.3d 105, 107 (2d Cir. 2005). The BIA stated that reconsideration was inappropriate because petitioner failed to “allege any factual or legal error in the Board’s [earlier] decision.” Petitioner contends primarily that the BIA abused its discretion because this statement was a “flat falsehood.” We disagree.

For the reasons stated above, the petition for review is DENIED.
. Nazma Akter has filed petitions for review on behalf of her minor daughters, Nargis Khandar Akter and Nahid Khander Akter. All three petitions are disposed of in this Order.
