On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted February 24, 2016**
Before: LEAVY, FERNANDEZ, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.
Angel Juan Aragon-Gomez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to
reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Fernandez v. Gonzales, 439

a motion to reopen. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir. 2005).
We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reopen where
the evidence was insufficient to demonstrate any likely impact on the hardship
determination in Aragon-Gomez’s case. See Fernandez, 439 F.3d at 600 n.6
(prima facie eligibility for relief is demonstrated where “the evidence reveals a
reasonable likelihood that the statutory requirements for relief have been satisfied”
(internal quotations omitted)).
Aragon-Gomez’s contentions that the BIA disregarded, improperly
evaluated, and failed to consider the new evidence in the context of the evidence
previously presented, are not supported by the record.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
