counsel and denying her motion to reconsider. We have jurisdiction pursuant to
8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of motions to
reopen and to reconsider, Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002),
and review de novo questions of law, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-
92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petitions for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Renteria De Torres’ motion
to reopen because she presented insufficient evidence to establish prejudice. See
Rojas-Garcia v. Ashcroft, 339 F.3d 814, 826 (9th Cir. 2003) (to prevail on an
ineffective assistance of counsel claim a petitioner must demonstrate prejudice).
The BIA also did not abuse its discretion in denying Renteria De Torres’
motion to reconsider because the motion failed to identify any error of fact or law
in the BIA’s March 22, 2007 order. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b).
PETITIONS FOR REVIEW DENIED.
