Margarita Rojas, Oceanside, CA, pro se.
CAS-District Counsel, Esquire, Office of the District Counsel Department of HomelandSecurity, San Diego, CA, Ronald E. Lefevre, Office of the District Counsel Department of Homeland Security, San Francisco, CA, for Respondent.
On Petitions for Review of Orders of the Board of Immigration Appeals. Agency No. A074-812-597.
Before: RYMER, McKEOWN, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
In these consolidated petitions, Margarita Rojas, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying his applications for adjustment of status, suspension of deportation, and voluntary departure, and the BIA's order denying his motion to reconsider. Our jurisdiction is governed by 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, 791 (9th Cir. 2005). We dismiss the petition for review in No. 07-74576, and we deny the petition for review in No. 08-72222.
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency's discretionary denials of Rojas' applications for relief. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1252(a)(2)(B), 1229c(f); see also Hosseini v. Gonzales, 471 F.3d 953, 956-57 (9th Cir. 2006) (adjustment of status); Gomez-Lopez v. Ashcroft, 393 F.3d 882, 884 (9th Cir. 2005) (voluntary departure); Kalaw v. INS, 138 F.3d 1147, 1151-52 (9th Cir. 1997) (suspension of deportation). Rojas' contentions that the agency erred and violated due process by failing to consider the positive factors in his case, penalizing him for failing to disclose certain assets and that he was apprehended in 1997, and failing to cite controlling case law, do not state colorable claims. See Mendez-Castro v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 975, 979-80 (9th Cir. 2009); Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005).
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Rojas' motion to reconsider because the motion failed to point to an error of fact or law in the BIA's October 23, 2007, order dismissing the underlying Appeal. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1).
No. 07-74576: PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED. No. 08-72222: PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
