decision dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. Our
jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the
denial of a motion to reconsider, and review de novo due process challenges.
Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny in part
and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to
reconsider because the motion failed to identify any error of law or fact in the
BIA’s October 7, 2010, order. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1). Petitioners’
contention that the denial of their motion to reconsider violated due process
therefore fails. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring
error and substantial prejudice for a due process violation).
To the extent that petitioners challenge the BIA’s underlying order
dismissing their appeal, we lack jurisdiction because this petition is not timely as to
that order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1) (petitions for review must be filed within 30
days of the final order of removal); Singh v. INS, 315 F.3d 1186, 1188 (9th Cir.
2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
