Sabino Casarin v. Eric Holder, Jr.

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION JUL 20 2011 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT SABINO CASARIN, No. 10-71851 Petitioner, Agency No. A099-377-069 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted July 12, 2011 ** Before: SCHROEDER, ALARCÓN, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges. Sabino Casarin, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations due to ineffective assistance of counsel, and * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review. The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Casarin’s motion to reopen, where Casarin failed to establish that the alleged deficiencies in his prior counsel’s performance may have affected the outcome of the proceedings. See id. at 793-94 (prejudice results when the performance of counsel was so inadequate that it may have affected the outcome of the proceedings). Casarin’s contention that the BIA failed to consider and improperly evaluated all of the evidence submitted with his motion is not supported by the record. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 10-71851
