a motion to reopen, Reyes v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 592, 595 (9th Cir. 2004), and we
deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion on the
ground that they failed to comply with the requirements set forth in Matter of
Lozada, 19 I. & N. Dec. 637, 639 (BIA 1988), because petitioners did not include
any evidence that they had informed the attorneys of the allegations against them,
and the alleged ineffective assistance is not plain on the face of the record. See
Reyes, 358 F.3d at 584, 597-99.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion on the
ground that the new evidence of their youngest daughter’s health problems was
untimely and did not fall within any exception to the time restrictions. See 8
C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), (3).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
