in absentia. We have jurisdiction under 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 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion by denying Lin’s motion to reopen,
because the agency considered the evidence he submitted and acted within its
broad discretion in determining that the evidence was insufficient to warrant
reopening. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a); see also Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039
(9th Cir. 2002) (denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed only if it is
“arbitrary, irrational or contrary to law.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
