discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785,
791 (9th Cir. 2005), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA acted within its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to reopen
because petitioners did not establish that their former counsel “failed to perform
with sufficient competence.” See Mohammed, 400 F.3d at 793.
The motion to withdraw as attorney of record is granted. The Clerk shall
amend the docket to reflect that petitioners are appearing pro se, and their address
is 1016 S. Exmoor Ave., Compton, CA 90220.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
