BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen. Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th
Cir. 2002). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Tjan’s motion to reopen that
he filed based on Tampubolon v. Holder, 610 F.3d 1056 (9th Cir. 2010), where
Tjan did not present any evidence of individualized risk of persecution. See Halim
v. Holder, 590 F.3d 971, 979 (9th Cir. 2009); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1) (providing
that a motion to reopen “shall state the new facts that will be proven at a hearing to
be held if the motion is granted and shall be supported by affidavits or other
evidentiary material”). We reject Tjan’s arguments regarding the agency’s prior
analysis of his disfavored group claims in light of our decision in Tjan v. Holder,
No. 07-73532, 2010 WL 675191 (9th Cir. Feb. 23, 2010). Accordingly, we deny
the petition for review.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
