counsel. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse
of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d
785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005), and we deny the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Zhou’s motion to reopen
because Zhou failed to comply with the requirements set forth in Matter of Lozada,
19 I. & N. Dec. 637 (BIA 1988), and the ineffective assistance is not plain on the
face of the record. See Reyes v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 592, 597-99 (9th Cir. 2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
