United States First Circuit

In an immigration and asylum case, the Board of Immigration Appeals' denial of a motion for reconsideration is affirmed where: 1) the party seeking reconsideration has the burden of establishing that it is warranted; 2) the moving party must specify a particular error of law or fact in that earlier decision; and 3) petitioner simply regurgitated contentions that were previously made and rejected.
