MEMORANDUM **

Juan Jr Cabujat Teoco and Erlinda Hiso Teoco, natives and citizens of the Philippines, petition pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying their motion to reconsider. We have jurisdiction under 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 deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reconsider, where petitioners did not show the BIA made an error of law or fact in its prior decision. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (“A motion to reconsider shall state the reasons for the motion by specifying the errors of fact or law in the prior Board decision and shall be supported by pertinent authority.”).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
