decision denying her application for special rule cancellation of removal for
battered spouses pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(2). We have jurisdiction under
8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to
reconsider. Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002). We deny the
petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Delatorre’s motion to
reconsider, where she failed to establish any error of fact or law in the BIA’s prior
order. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1) (a motion to reconsider must specify errors of
fact or law in a prior decision); 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f) (defining good moral character
“[f]or the purposes of this Act”); cf. Romero-Ochoa v. Holder, 712 F.3d 1328,
1330-32 (9th Cir. 2013) (concluding that 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f)(7) was constitutional
in the context of cancellation of removal and voluntary departure under 8 U.S.C.
§§ 1229b(b)(1), 1229c(b)(1)).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
