v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Cuchilla-Ventura’s untimely
motion to reopen where Cuchilla-Ventura did not show that his newly submitted
evidence was previously unavailable. See 8 C.F.R. §§ 1003.2(c)(1), (c)(3)(ii);
Goel v. Gonzales, 490 F.3d 735, 738 (9th Cir. 2007) (per curiam) (evidence that is
available or capable of being discovered at time of hearing cannot serve as basis
for motion to reopen). Further, Cuchilla-Ventura does not raise any challenge to
the BIA’s dispositive finding that his evidence did not address the issue of changed
circumstances.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
