IRMA PUTRI WIRAYA, Petitioner, v. LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General, Respondent.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

Agency No. A096-351-599 MEMORANDUM On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Before: TROTT, TASHIMA, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

Irma Putri Wiraya, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals's ("BIA") March 13, 2015, order denying her motion to reconsider. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider and review de novo claims of due process violations. Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002). We deny the petition for review.

We do not consider Wiraya's contention that she timely filed her motion to reopen proceedings, or her contention concerning the sufficiency of her motion to reopen, which were previously reviewed by this court in Wiraya v. Holder, 585 Fed. Appx. 495 (9th Cir. 2014).

On remand from this court, in denying Wiraya's motion to reconsider, the BIA found that the contents of Wiraya's documents did not establish any material change in conditions in Indonesia. The BIA did not abuse discretion in denying Wiraya's motion to reconsider. See Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010) (court "defer[s] to the BIA's exercise of discretion unless it acted arbitrarily, irrationally, or contrary to law"); see also Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 996 (9th Cir. 2008) (requiring movant to produce material evidence with motion to reopen that conditions in country of nationality had changed).

We reject Wiraya's contentions that the BIA, on remand, failed to comply with this court's order, and that the BIA erred by not soliciting supplemental briefing or holding oral arguments. Thus, Wiraya's due process claims fail. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error to prevail on a due process claim).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
