Contreras v. Holder

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Felix Contreras, Maria Contreras, and their two children, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying their motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA acted within its broad discretion in determining that the evidence presented with the motion to reopen was insufficient to warrant reopening. See id. (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.
