discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, and de novo questions of law,
including those concerning ineffective assistance of counsel. Mohammed v.
Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny both petitions for
review.
We agree with the BIA’s conclusions that Nan failed to show she had been
prejudiced by former counsels’ representation. See id. at 794 (9th Cir. 2005) (in
order to state a valid claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, petitioner must
show prejudice).
Nan’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
PETITIONS FOR REVIEW DENIED.
