   MEMORANDUM

Humberto Alvear Garcia, Maria Del Rosario Hernandez Leana, and Elit Edain Alvear Hernandez, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying their motion to reconsider its order denying their motion to reopen based on ineffective assistance of counsel. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider, Morales Apolinar v. Mukasey, 514 F.3d 893, 895 (9th Cir.2008), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to reconsider because the motion failed to identify any error of fact or law in the BIA’s prior decision denying reopening. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1); see also Rojas-Garcia v. Ashcroft, 339 F.3d 814, 826 (9th Cir.2003) (petitioner was not prejudiced by his counsel’s failure to file a brief with the BIA where there were no plausible grounds for relief at the time of his appeal to the BIA).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 
      
       This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
