§ 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen,
Ordonez v. INS, 345 F.3d 777, 782 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for
review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying the motion to reopen
because the BIA considered the evidence Cardoso-Caetano submitted and acted
within its broad discretion in determining that the evidence was insufficient to
warrant reopening. See Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002) (the
BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed if it is “arbitrary, irrational, or
contrary to law.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
