JOSE MANUEL LOZANO-LEON, Petitioner, v. ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
MEMORANDUM
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
On Petitions for Review of Orders of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Before: RAWLINSON, MURGUIA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.
In these consolidated petitions for review, Jose Manuel Lozano-Leon, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") orders dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying his request for a continuance and denying his motion to reconsider. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a continuance, Ahmed v. Holder, 569 F.3d 1009, 1012 (9th Cir. 2009), and the denial of a motion to reconsider, Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002). We review de novo claims of due process violations. Id. We deny the petitions for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Lozano-Leon's request for a continuance. See Ahmed, 569 F.3d at 1012 (continuance may be granted for good cause).
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Lozano-Leon's motion to reconsider on the ground that 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).
PETITIONS FOR REVIEW DENIED.
