jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the
denial of a motion to reconsider. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 790 (9th

The BIA was within its discretion in denying Singh’s motion to reconsider
because the motion failed to identify any error of fact or law in the BIA’s June 23,

Singh’s remaining contention is unpersuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
