§ 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Perez
v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 770, 773 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA acted within its broad discretion in determining the evidence was
insufficient to establish changed country conditions in Guatemala. See Malty v.
Ashcroft, 381 F.3d 942, 945 (9th Cir. 2004) (“The critical question is . . . whether
circumstances have changed sufficiently that a petitioner who previously did not
have a legitimate claim for asylum now has a well-founded fear of future
persecution.”).
Furthermore, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to
reopen where the new evidence De Leon Mazariegos presented with his motion
did not support prima facie eligibility for cancellation of removal. See Fernandez
v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 592, 600 (9th Cir. 2006).
De Leon Mazariegos’ contention that the BIA failed to consider all the
evidence submitted with the motion fails, because he has not overcome the
presumption that the BIA reviewed the record. See id. at 603.
De Leon Mazariegos’ remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
