NHY/Research
U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen
and review de novo due process claims due to ineffective assistance of counsel.
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 Petitioners’ motion to
reopen where Petitioners lacked “plausible grounds for relief.” See Rojas-Garcia
v. Ashcroft, 339 F.3d 814, 826 (9th Cir. 2003).
Petitioners’ remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
