Valdez Quintana v. Gonzales
Valdez Quintana v. Gonzales
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Catarino Valdez Quintana, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) denying his motion to reconsider its earlier order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings.
The BIA was within its discretion in denying Valdez Quintana’s motion to reconsider because the motion failed to identify any error of fact or law in the BIA’s prior decision denying his motion to reopen. 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).
We lack jurisdiction to review Valdez Quintana’s appeal from the IJ’s decision denying his application for cancellation of removal because this petition for review is not timely as to that order. See Singh v. INS, 315 F.3d 1186, 1188 (9th Cir. 2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
