   MEMORANDUM

Ley Eng Lim, a native and citizen of Malaysia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to reconsider. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reconsider, and review de novo claims of due process violations. Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir.2002). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Lim’s motion to reconsider based on her arguments of past and future persecution. See id. (court will not disturb the BIA’s decision unless it acted arbitrarily, irrationally, or contrary to law). In addition, even if the agency failed to properly consider Lim’s legal advice argument, we reject her due process challenge because she failed to establish prejudice. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir.2000) (requiring prejudice to prevail on a due process challenge to deportation proceedings).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
