Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Jorge Espinoza-Rodriguez and Eduwig-is Espinoza, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying their motion to reopen and reconsider. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen and reconsider, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir.2005), and we deny the petition for review.
In their opening brief, petitioners fail to address, and therefore have waived any challenge to, the BIA's determination that reopening was not warranted because they did not demonstrate prima facie eligibility for adjustment of status based on a labor certification. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir.1996) (issues not specifically raised and argued in a party's opening brief are waived).
The BIA was within 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 affirming the immigration judge's order denying cancellation of removal. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1); Socop-Gonzalez v. INS, 272 F.3d 1176, 1180 n. 2 (9th Cir.2001) (en banc).
Petitioners' remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
