their United States citizen child.
Petitioners introduced new evidence of hardship consisting of evidence that
Claudia Espinoza has recently been diagnosed with “antepartum depression,” and
that she was approximately eighteen weeks pregnant at the time of filing the

evidence did not establish extreme hardship to a qualifying relative for purposes of
cancellation of removal, and therefore was insufficient to warrant reopening. See
Sing v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002) (the BIA’s denial of a motion to
reopen shall be reversed on if it is “arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
