MEMORANDUM **

Eulalio Romero-Sanchez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’(“BIA”) denial of his motion to reconsider. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir.2005), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Romero-Sanchez’s motion to reconsider the denial of his cancellation of removal application, where Romero-Sanchez failed to submit evidence establishing that he was no longer convicted of a controlled substance offense for immigration purposes. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(C); Murillo-Espinoza v. INS, 261 F.3d 771, 774 (9th Cir.2001) (rehabilitative vacaturs do not remove convictions from consideration for immigration purposes).

In light of this disposition, we do not reach Romero-Sanchez’s remaining contentions. See Simeonov v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 532, 538 (9th Cir.2004) (“As a general rule courts and agencies are not required to make findings on issues the decision of which is unnecessary to the results they reach.” (citation and quotation marks omitted)).
