Bernard Mambo v. Eric Holder, Jr.

MEMORANDUM

Apriyanto, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reconsider. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for abuse of discretion the denial of motions to reconsider, Ghahremani v. Gonzales, 498 F.3d 993, 997 (9th Cir.2007), and we deny the petition for review.

As a preliminary matter, we deny Apri-yanto’s motion requesting that the court take judicial notice of the 2010 United States Department of State International Religious Freedom Report. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (b)(4)(A); Fisher v. INS, 79 F.3d 955, 963-64 (9th Cir.1996) (en banc) (this court’s review is limited to the administrative record). We also reject Apriyanto’s request that the court reconsider its stance on whether there is a pattern or practice of persecution of Christian Indonesians.

We do not address Apriyanto’s contention regarding asylum because this claim was not addressed by the BIA, see Najma-badi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir.2010) (this court’s review is limited to grounds relied upon by the BIA), and Apriyanto does not argue the BIA erred, see Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256,…
