Ilbir Campos-Mejia v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Ilbir Campos-Mejia v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Ilbir Campos-Mejia, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his motion to reopen based on ineffective assistance of counsel. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo due process claims, and for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Campos-Mejia’s motion to reopen on the ground that he failed to show prejudice from his former counsel’s conduct. See Ortiz v. INS, 179 F.3d 1148, 1153 (9th Cir. 1999) (“Prejudice is found when the performance of counsel was so inadequate that it may have affected the outcome of the proceedings.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
