   MEMORANDUM

Federal prisoner Juan Vega appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petition as moot. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.

Vega contends that his claims are not moot because his race discrimination and due process claims have not been adjudicated. Vega’s argument fails because the Bureau of Prisons has performed the actions sought by Vega in this litigation, and this court lacks the ability to provide any further relief. Accordingly, his petition was properly dismissed as moot. See Kittel v. Thomas, 620 F.3d 949, 951-52 (9th Cir.2010) (habeas petition properly dismissed as moot where there was no legal issue remaining for the court to decide); Pub. Util. Covim’n v. FERC, 100 F.3d 1451, 1458 (9th Cir.1996) (appeals were moot where administrative agency had already granted relief sought).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Vega’s motion for reconsideration because he did not identify any new evidence, change in law, clear error, or manifest injustice in the court’s order. See Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah County, Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262-63 (9th Cir.1993) (setting forth standard of review and grounds for reconsideration).

AFFIRMED.
