reopen. Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the
petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ untimely and
number-barred motion to reopen because it considered the record and acted within
its broad discretion in determining that the evidence was insufficient to establish
prima facie eligibility for the relief sought. See id. (agency may deny a motion to
reopen based on failure to establish a prima facie case for the relief sought);
Mendez-Gutierrez v. Gonzales, 444 F.3d 1168, 1172 (9th Cir. 2006) (“vague and
conclusory allegations” are insufficient to establish prima facie eligibility). We
reject petitioners’ contention that the BIA employed the wrong standard in
reviewing their motion to reopen.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
