MEMORANDUM

Emma Baghdasaryan, a native and citizen of Armenia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to reconsider. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider, Cano-Merida, v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir.2002), and review de novo claims of constitutional violations in immigration proceedings, Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir.2001). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

The BIA acted within its discretion in denying Baghdasaryan’s motion to reconsider because the motion failed to identify any error of fact or law in the BIA’s November 13, 2007, order. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (b)(1).

It follows that the denial of Baghdasar-yan’s motion to reconsider did not violate due process. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir.2000) (requiring error for a petitioner to prevail on a due process claim).

We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s November 13, 2007, order because this petition is not timely as to that order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (b)(1); Singh v. INS, 315 F.3d 1186, 1188 (9th Cir.2003).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED…
