review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Toufighi v.
Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition for review.
Grijalva filed an untimely and number-barred motion to reopen claiming
changed conditions, and that she would be subjected to domestic abuse in
Guatemala. The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Grijalva’s motion
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. at 996 (to prevail on a motion to reopen based on
changed conditions, petitioner must demonstrate that the new evidence, considered
with the evidence from the original hearing, would establish prima facie eligibility
for relief). We reject Grijalva’s contention that the BIA failed to properly address
the issues presented in her motion. See Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 990
(9th Cir. 2010) (the BIA “does not have to write an exegesis on every contention”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
