review for abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen, Garcia v.
Holder, 621 F.3d 906, 912 (9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition for review.
Mejia-Mora filed a timely motion to reopen with new, previously
unavailable, evidence of hardship to his United States citizen daughter to support
his application for cancellation of removal. The BIA did not abuse its discretion in
denying Mejia-Mora’s motion to reopen on the ground that the new evidence of his
daughter’s diagnosis with Bell’s palsy was insufficient to establish prima facie
eligibility for cancellation of removal. See id. at 912-913.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
