Gumercindo Cuchilla-Ventura v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Gumercindo Everisario Cuchilla-Ventu-ra, a native and citizen of El Salvador, 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 BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen. Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Cuehilla-Ventura’s untimely motion to reopen where Cuchilla-Ventura did not show that his newly submitted evidence was previously unavailable. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1), (c)(3)(h); Goel v. Gonzales, 490 F.3d 735, 738 (9th Cir. 2007) (per curiam) (evidence that is available or capable of being discovered at time of hearing cannot serve as basis for motion to reopen). Further, Cuchilla-Ventura does not raise any challenge to the BIA’s dis-positive finding that his evidence did not address the issue of changed circumstances.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
