MEMORANDUM **

Qigang Liu, a native and citizen of China, petitions pro se for review of the Board *148of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reconsider its order affirming the immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order denying asylum and reopening of his removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the BIA’s decision to deny a motion to reopen or to reconsider. Socop-Gonzalez v. INS, 272 F.3d 1176, 1187 (9th Cir. 2001) (en banc). We deny the petition for review.

To the extent Liu’s motion can be construed as a request to reopen, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion because it was not supported by previously unavailable evidence. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1); see INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323, 112 S.Ct. 719, 116 L.Ed.2d 823 (1992).

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Liu’s motion to reconsider as it determined that the IJ made an adverse credibility finding and stated that the IJ’s decision was without error. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1); see Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 792-93 (9th Cir. 2005) (“[T]he BIA must issue a decision that fully explains the reasons for denying a motion to [reconsider].”).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
