abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen, Cano-Merida v. INS,
311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Amezquita-Salazar’s motion
to reopen as she failed to establish prima facie eligibility for relief. See 8 C.F.R. §
1003.2(c); Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 996-97 (9th Cir. 2008). We reject
petitioner’s contentions that the BIA applied the incorrect legal standard and failed
to adequately review the evidence. See Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 990-
91 (9th Cir. 2009) (BIA adequately considered evidence and sufficiently
announced its decision).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
