MEMORANDUM **

Jorge Perez Tolentino and Beatriz Arauza Perez, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying their motion to reopen removal proceedings based on ineffective assistance of counsel. 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 questions of law. 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 petitioners’ motion to reopen where they failed to establish prejudice arising from the alleged ineffective assistance by their former counsel. See id. at 793-94 (“[Pjrejudice results when the performance of counsel was so inadequate that it may have affected the outcome of the proceedings.” (emphasis in original) (internal quotation marks omitted)).

It follows that petitioners’ due process claim, which rests entirely on the failure to reopen, fails. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error and substantial prejudice to prevail on a due process claim).

In light of this disposition, we do not reach petitioners’ remaining contentions.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
