On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted December 15, 2009**
Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.

denying their 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, Singh v. INS, 295
F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002), and review de novo claims of constitutional
violations in immigration proceedings, Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir.
2001). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA acted within its broad discretion in determining that the evidence
presented with the motion to reopen was insufficient to warrant reopening. See
Singh, 295 F.3d at 1039 (BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed only
if it is “arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law”). It follows that petitioners’ due
process claim fails. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000)
(requiring error for a petitioner to prevail on a due process claim).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
