Fernando Arreola-Soto v. Eric H. Holder Jr.
Fernando Arreola-Soto v. Eric H. Holder Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Maria Barbara Galindo, native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Movsisian v. Ashcroft, 395 F.3d 1095, 1098 (9th Cir. 2005), and review de novo due process claims, Fernandez v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 592, 603 (9th Cir. 2006). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Galindo’s motion to reopen because the BIA properly considered the new evidence submitted by Galindo, 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) (BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed only if it is “arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law”).
Galindo’s claim that the BIA violated due process by failing to address the overall hardship to all her qualifying relatives is not supported by the record.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
