Submitted September 13, 2010**
Before: SILVERMAN, CALLAHAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
Maria Sacarias De Pinedo, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for

Movsisian v. Ashcroft, 395 F.3d 1095, 1098 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition
for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Sacarias De Pinedo’s motion
to reopen because she presented insufficient evidence to establish prejudice. See
Rojas-Garcia v. Ashcroft, 339 F.3d 814, 826 (9th Cir. 2003) (to prevail on an
ineffective assistance of counsel claim a petitioner must demonstrate prejudice).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
