Carlos Baldelomar-Viscarra v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Carlos Baldelomar-Viscarra, a native and citizen of Bolivia, and Maria Cecilia Cisneros-Chavez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision denying their motion to reopen removal proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 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). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying petitioners’ motion to reopen because the BIA considered the evidence they submitted 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) (the denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed if it is “arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law.”).
We lack jurisdiction to consider petitioners’ claim that they may qualify for prose-cutorial discretion. See Vilchiz-Soto v. Holder, 688 F.3d 642, 644 (9th Cir. 2012) (order).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
