Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Atul Sharma, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals, denying his motion to reconsider. We deny the petition for review. A motion to reconsider must specify the errors of law or fact in the Board’s prior decision. See § 1229a(c)(6)(C) (2012); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b) (2015). 8 U.S.C. We review the denial of a motion to reconsider for abuse of discretion and will reverse the Board’s decision irrational, or contrary to law. only if it is arbitrary, Narine v. Holder, 559 F.3d 246, 249 (4th Cir. 2009). We conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion in finding Sharma did not show there was an error of law or fact in the prior decision and denying the motion to reconsider. Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral contentions argument adequately because presented in the the facts and materials legal before this court are and argument would not aid the decisional process. PETITION DENIED 2
