removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for
abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Ordonez v. INS, 345 F.3d 777,
782 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Torres Flores’ motion to
reopen because the BIA considered the evidence he submitted and acted within its
broad discretion in determining that the evidence was insufficient to warrant
reopening. See Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002) (the BIA’s
denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed if it is “arbitrary, irrational, or
contrary to law.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
