Tigran Sargsyan v. Jefferson Sessions

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Tigran Sargsyan, a native and citizen of Armenia, and Nadia Khudanyan, a native of Iran and citizen of Armenia, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying their motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen. Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ untimely motion to reopen, where they failed to demonstrate prima facie eligibility for relief. See id. at 996.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
