MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted June 29, 2010**
Before: ALARCÓN, LEAVY, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.
Rosa Elena Lopez De Dorantes and Jose Isabel Dorantes-Espadas, natives
and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’
(“BIA”) order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order,
and denying their motion to remand. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252.

We review de novo constitutional claims, Vasquez-Zavala v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d
1105, 1107 (9th Cir. 2003), and review for abuse of discretion the denial of a
motion to remand, De Jesus Melendez v. Gonzales, 503 F.3d 1019, 1023 (9th Cir.
2007). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA acted within its broad discretion in determining that the evidence
newly presented on appeal was insufficient to warrant a remand. See Singh v. INS,
295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002) (BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen shall be
reversed if it is “arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law”). Petitioners’ due process
claim therefore fails. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000).
Petitioners’ remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
