INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Jimenez-Araujo’s motion to
reopen, because he did not introduce new evidence that would likely have changed
the outcome of his case. 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1); Shin v. Mukasey, 547 F.3d 1019,
1025 (9th Cir. 2008) (applicants who seek to “reopen proceedings to pursue relief
bear a ‘heavy burden’ of proving that, if proceedings were reopened, the new
evidence would likely change the result in the case” (quoting Matter of Coelho, 20
I. & N. Dec. 464, 473 (BIA 1992))).
The temporary stay of removal remains in place until issuance of the
mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
