10-73118 2
under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of 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 petitioners’ motion to
reopen on the ground that petitioners failed to establish that the alleged ineffective
assistance of their former attorney may have affected the outcome of their
proceedings. See id. at 793-94 (to prevail on an ineffective assistance of counsel
claim, a petitioner must demonstrate prejudice). We reject petitioners’ contention
that the BIA applied the wrong legal standard.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
