231 F. App'x 757

Moreno v. Gonzales

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

The motion to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. The Clerk shall amend the docket to reflect this status.

This is a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying petitioners’ motion to reopen or reconsider the denial of their applications for cancellation of removal.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in construing petitioners’ motion as a motion to reconsider and denying the motion (petitioners’ second) as numerically barred. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(2); Lara-Torres v. Ashcroft, 383 F.3d 968, 972 (9th Cir. 2004).

Accordingly, respondent’s motion for summary disposition is granted because *758the questions raised by this petition for review are so insubstantial as not to require further argument. See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir. 1982) (per curiam). Thus, this petition for review is denied.

All other pending motions are denied as moot.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
