MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.


This is a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying petitioners' motion to reconsider an order denying cancellation of removal.

Respondent's motion for summary disposition is granted because the questions raised by this petition for review are so insubstantial as not to require further argument. See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir. 1982) (per curiam) (stating standard). We review denials of motions to reconsider and reopen for abuse of discretion. Lara-Torres v. Ashcroft, 383 F.3d 968, 972 (9th Cir. 2004), amended by 404 F.3d 1105 (9th Cir. 2005). Here, a review of the record shows that the BIA did not abuse its discretion when it concluded that the motion to reopen failed to set forth specific errors of law or fact in the BIA's prior order. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b). Accordingly, this petition for review is denied.

All other pending motions are denied as moot. The temporary stay of removal shall continue in effect until issuance of the mandate.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
