proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of
discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen, Garcia v. Holder, 621 F.3d 906,
912 (9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition for review.
Petitioners submitted additional new evidence of hardship to their United
States citizen son, Jason, to support their application for cancellation of removal.
The BIA considered the evidence that Jason was diagnosed with Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder and his involvement with an Individualized Education
Program. We conclude that the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying
petitioners’ motion to reopen on the ground that the new evidence was insufficient
to establish the requisite hardship, and prima facie eligibility for cancellation of
removal. See id. at 912-13.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
