Sanchez v. Holder

382 F. App'x 581

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Beant Kaur and Harnek Singh, wife and husband, and natives and citizens of India, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying their motion to reissue the BIA’s March 23, 2007, order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for abuse of discretion, Perez v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 770, 773 (9th Cir.2008), we deny the petition for review.

Although respondent concedes that petitioners’ motion was timely filed, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion on the merits on the ground that the evidence was insufficient to warrant reissuing its previous order. See Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir.2002) (BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed only if it is “arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law.”); see also Coyt v. Holder, 593 F.3d 902, 904 n. 1 (9th Cir.2010) (“A motion to reissue is treated as a motion to reopen.”). Because the BIA acted within its discretion, we need not address petitioners’ remaining contentions.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
