Victor Armenta-Rodriguez v. Loretta E. Lynch

NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT APR 28 2015 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS VICTOR ARMENTA-RODRIGUEZ, No. 11-71434 Petitioner, Agency No. A092-282-272 v. MEMORANDUM* ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted April 22, 2015** Before: GOODWIN, BYBEE, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges. Victor Armenta-Rodriguez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of * 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). discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Oyeniran v. Holder, 672 F.3d 800, 806 (9th Cir. 2012), and we deny the petition for review. The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Armenta-Rodriguez’s motion to reopen because Armenta-Rodriguez did not demonstrate that the evidence he submitted with the motion was not available and could not have been discovered or presented at his immigration hearing. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1) (a motion to reopen shall not be granted unless the “evidence sought to be offered is material and was not available and could not have been discovered or presented at the former hearing[.]”); Goel v. Gonzales, 490 F.3d 735, 738 (9th Cir. 2007) (per curiam) (evidence capable of being discovered at time of hearing cannot serve as basis for motion to reopen). In light of this disposition, we need not reach Armenta-Rodriguez’s remaining contentions. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 11-71434
