Joghinder Singh v. Eric Holder, Jr.

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION DEC 9 2013 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JOGHINDER SINGH, No. 12-70227 Petitioner, Agency No. A095-584-627 v. MEMORANDUM* ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted November 19, 2013** Before: CANBY, TROTT, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges. Joghinder Singh, a native and citizen of India, 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 for * 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). an abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review. The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh’s untimely second motion to reopen where Singh filed the motion over four years after the BIA’s final decision, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and failed to establish prima facie eligibility for relief, see Toufighi, 538 F.3d at 996-97. We reject Singh’s contention the BIA failed to properly address his evidence, or otherwise abused its discretion in considering his claims. See id. at 992 (“This Court defers to the Board’s exercise of discretion unless it acted arbitrarily, irrationally or contrary to law.”). PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 12-70227
