Emiliano Velasco Garcia v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Emiliano Velasco Garcia v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Emiliano Velasco Garcia, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his 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, Garcia v. Holder, 621 F.3d 906, 912 (9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Velasco Garcia’s motion to reopen based on the new hardship evidence of his temporary guardianship of his nieces *652 where he did not allege how his qualifying relatives would be affected. See id. (a motion to reopen will not be granted unless it establishes a prima facie case for relief).
In light of our disposition, we need not reach Velasco Garcia’s remaining contention.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
