§ 1252. We review for abuse of discretion, Ordonez v. INS, 345 F.3d 777, 782 (9th
Cir. 2003), and deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Petitioner’s motion to
reopen on the ground that he failed to establish prima facie eligibility for
cancellation of removal. See id. at 785 (prima facie eligibility is demonstrated by
showing a reasonable likelihood that the statutory requirements for relief have been
satisfied); 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(B). The immigration judge found Petitioner
lacked good moral character in its underlying decision, and he did not challenge
that finding either in his initial appeal to the BIA or in his later motion to reopen.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
