Marvin Manzo v. Loretta Lynch

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Marvin Mariveles Manzo, a native and citizen of the Philippines, 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, and we 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 err, violate due process, or abuse its discretion in denying Manzo’s motion to reopen, where the record does not support Manzo’s contentions that the BIA relied on speculation, failed to address claims presented in his motion,' failed to consider relevant evidence or positive equities, and failed to provide a reasoned . explanation. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a); Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 990 (9th Cir. 2010) (‘What is required is merely that [the BIA] consider the issues raised, and announce its decision in terms sufficient to enable a reviewing court to perceive that it has heard and thought and not merely reacted.” (citation and quotation marks omitted)); Lata v. I.N.S., 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error and substantial prejudice to prevail on a due process claim).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
