motion to reconsider, Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002), and
we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Karapetyan’s motion to
reconsider because the motion failed to identify any error of fact or law in the
BIA’s prior order denying his motion to reopen as untimely. See 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(b)(1).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
