MEMORANDUM
Baljinder Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen and reconsider. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen or reconsider. Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir.2002). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh’s motion to reconsider because Singh did not identify any error or fact or law in the BIA’s prior decision. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (b)(1). The BIA also did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh’s motion to reopen because he did not establish that his proffered evidence would likely change the result in the case. See Shin v. Mukasey, 547 F.3d 1019, 1025 (9th Cir.2008) (contention petitioner filed application did not suffice to meet “heavy burden” of proving new evidence would likely change result) (citation omitted). Further, contrary to Singh’s contentions, the record shows the BIA properly and adequately reviewed his motion.
