Raya v. Mukasey
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Juvencio Salazar Raya and Maria de Jesus Velazquez Trujillo petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) denying their motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have
jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review the denial of a motion to reopen for an abuse of discretion. See Konstantinova v. INS, 195 F.3d 528, 529 (9th Cir. 1999). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA considered the new evidence regarding petitioners’ son Henry and acted within its broad discretion in determining that the evidence was insufficient to warrant reopening. See Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002) (The BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed only if it is “arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
