Petitioner Jessica Yesenia Villalobos-Diaz and her minor daughter, both citizens and natives of El Salvador, petition this court for review of the order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying their motion to reopen. We review the denial of a motion to reopen for an abuse of discretion. Barrios-Cantarero v. Holder, 772 F.3d 1019, 1021 (5th Cir. 2014).

The petitioners contend that the BIA erred as a matter of law in denying their motion because they demonstrated that their original counsel was ineffective in failing to submit documents which would have corroborated their request for asylum. By their argument, the petitioners simply complain that the BIA should have addressed their ineffective assistance claim on the merits. However, they fail to brief any argument challenging the BIA’s dis-positive determinations that they failed to comply with the procedural requirements for bringing an ineffective assistance claim and that the new evidence submitted did not demonstrate their prima facie eligibility for any of the requested relief. By failing to challenge the reasons for the BIA’s decision, the petitioners have abandoned the sole issue for review. 1 See Soadjede v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 830, 833 (5th Cir. 2003). Accordingly, the petition for review is DENIED.
