*83 SUMMARY ORDER

Petitioner Bakamo Dukureh, a native and citizen of Gambia, seeks review of the March 28, 2009, order of the BIA denying his motion to reconsider. In re Bakamo Dukureh, No. A073 049 221 (B.I.A. Mar. 28, 2009). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history of the case.

When, as here, an alien files a timely petition for review from the denial of a motion to reconsider, but not from the underlying decision for which reconsideration is sought, we may review only the denial of the motion to reconsider. See Ke Zhen Zhao v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 265 F.3d 83, 89-90 (2d Cir. 2001). To the extent that Dukureh challenges the BIA’s denial of his motion to reconsider, we find that the BIA reasonably denied that motion because he failed to specify errors of fact or law in its prior decision as required by 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1). As the BIA found, it was entitled to apply its holding in Matter of A-K-, 24 I & N Dec. 275 (BIA 2007) rather than eases from other circuits that had been issued prior to that precedential decision. 1

For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is DENIED. As we have completed our review, any stay of removal that the Court previously granted in this petition is VACATED, and any pending motion for a stay of removal in this petition is DISMISSED as moot. Any pending request for oral argument in these petitions is DENIED in accordance with Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 34(a)(2), and Second Circuit Local Rule 34.1(b).
