discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894
(9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Reyes Vasquez’s motion to
reopen, where the BIA considered the new evidence of his United States citizen
daughter’s mental health condition 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) (BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen shall
be reversed only if it is “arbitrary, irrational or contrary to law.”)
To the extent Reyes Vasquez contends that the BIA failed to consider some
or all of the evidence he submitted with the motion to reopen, he has not overcome
the presumption that the BIA did review the record. See Franco-Rosendo v.
Gonzales, 454 F.3d 965, 966 (9th Cir. 2006).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
