withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture.
Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of
discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reconsider. Cano-Merida v. INS, 311
F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for
review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Vasquez’s motion to
reconsider because the motion failed to identify any error of fact or law in the
BIA’s prior order. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1).
To the extent Vasquez challenges the agency’s underlying order denying the
merits of her claims, we lack jurisdiction to review it because Vasquez did not file
a petition for review of that order. See Membreno v. Gonzales, 425 F.3d 1227,
1229 (9th Cir. 2005).
We reject Vasquez’s requests for a remand or mediation to consider her
application for Cancellation of Removal because the record does not indicate that
Vasquez applied for this relief.
Finally, we deny Vasquez’s general request for a remand as stated in her
motion to stay removal.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
