Arturo Rodriguez-Marquina v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Arturo Rodriguez-Marquina v. Eric Holder, Jr., 485 F. App'x 866 (9th Cir. 2012)

Arturo Rodriguez-Marquina v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Arturo Rodriguez-Marquina, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s 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, and review de novo claims of due process violations. Rodriguez-Lariz v. INS, 282 F.3d 1218, 1222 (9th Cir. 2002). We deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reopen where Rodriguez-Marquina failed to show prima facie eligibility for cancellation of removal. See Ordonez v. INS, 345 F.3d 777, 785 (9th Cir. 2003) (a motion to reopen will not be granted unless the respondent establishes a case of prima facie eligibility for the underlying relief sought). Rodriguez-Marquina’s due process claim therefore fails. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring a showing of error and substantial prejudice to prevail on a due process claim).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
