of a motion to reopen. Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010).
We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to
reopen where petitioners failed to establish prima facie eligibility for asylum,
withholding of removal, or relief under the Convention Against Torture. See id. at
986 (agency may deny a motion to reopen based on failure to establish a prima
facie case for the relief sought); Delgado-Ortiz v. Holder, 600 F.3d 1148, 1151-52
(9th Cir. 2010) (holding that generalized evidence of violence and crime was
insufficient to establish eligibility for asylum, withholding, or relief under CAT).
We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s decision to not exercise its sua
sponte authority to reopen removal proceedings. See Mejia-Hernandez v. Holder,
633 F.3d 818, 823-24 (9th Cir. 2011).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
