               Respondent.

                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted March 8, 2011 **

Before:        FARRIS, O’SCANNLAIN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

       Pablo Angel Rodriguez-Arellano, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions

for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his

motion to 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 reconsider and review de

novo legal and constitutional claims. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-

92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

      The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Rodriguez-Arellano’s

motion to reconsider where the motion did not identify any error of fact or law in

the BIA’s prior order. 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1). It follows that the BIA did not

violate due process. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000)

(requiring error for a petitioner to prevail on a due process claim).

      To the extent Rodriguez-Arellano raises a due process challenge to the

BIA’s dismissal of his direct appeal, we lack jurisdiction because he failed to file a

petition for review of that decision. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1); Singh v. INS, 315

F.3d 1186, 1188 (9th Cir. 2003).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
