MOTION ON ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS OFFICE DECISION 
PETITION: FORM 1-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER 
The Petitioner, a sports management, marketing, and communications company, seeks to amend 1 and 
extend the Beneficiary's temporary employment as its chief executive otlicer under the L-1 A 
nonimmigrant classification for intracompany transferees. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the 
Act) section IOI(a)(l5)(L), 8 U.S.C. ยง IIOI(a)(l5)(L). TheL-IA classification allows a corporation 
or other legal entity (including its affiliate or subsidiary) to transfer a qualifYing foreign employee to the 
United States to work temporarily in a managerial or executive capacity. 
The Director of the California Service Center denied the petition, concluding that the record did not 
establish, as required, that the Beneficiary would be employed in a managerial or executive capacity 
under the extended petition. The Petitioner appealed the Director's decision and we dismissed the 
appeal. We have since denied three subsequent combined motions to reopen and reconsider. The 
matter is now before us again on a motion to reopen and a motion to reconsider. Upon review, we 
will deny the motions. 
A motion to reopen must state the new facts to be proved in the reopened proceeding and be 
supported by aftidavits or other documentary evidence. 8 C.F.R. ยง I 03.5(a)(2). A motion to 
reconsider must state the reasons for reconsideration and be supported by any pertinent precedent 
decisions to establish that the decision was based on an incorrect application of law or U.S. 
Citizenship and Immigration Services policy. 8 C.F.R. ยง !03.5(a)(3). A motion "is not a process by 
which a party may submit, in essence, the same brief presented on appeal [or a motion to reopen or 
reconsider an appeal] and seek reconsideration by generally alleging error." Matter of 0-S-G-, 24 
I&N Dec. 56, 58 (BIA 2006). A motion that does not meet applicable requirements shall be 
dismissed. 8 C.F.R. ยง I 03.5(a)(4). 
On motion, the Petitioner reasserts the same arguments addressed in the previous appeal and 
combined motions. In addition, the Petitioner's brief is substantively identical to the brief submitted 
on prior motion to reopen and motion to reconsider. We previously addressed the Petitioner's

assertions in our prior decis'ions, The Petitioner has not asserted new facts to be proved in the 
reopened proceeding, and does not cite binding precedent decisions or other legal authority 
establishing that we or the director incorrectly applied the pertinent law or agency policy and that the 
prior decisions were erroneous based on the evidence of record at the time, Therefore, the motions 
do not satisfy applicable requirements. 
ORDER: The motion to reopen is denied. 
FURTHER ORDER: The motion to reconsider is denied.
