Before: SCHROEDER, ALARCÓN, and LEVY, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.


Fernando Lopez-Vazquez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the BIA's denial of a motion to reopen, Mendez-Gutierrez v. Ashcroft, 340 F.3d 865, 869 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Lopez-Vazquez's motion to reopen on the ground that he failed to demonstrate prima facie eligibility for the relief sought. See Mendez-Gutierrez, 340 F.3d at 869-70 ("[P]rima facie eligibility for the relief sought is a prerequisite for the granting of a motion to reopen.").

To the extent Lopez-Vazquez contends that the BIA failed to consider some or all of the evidence he submitted with the motion to reopen, he has not overcome the presumption that the BIA did review the record. See Fernandez v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 592, 603 (9th Cir. 2006).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
