MAYRA GRACIELA CARDENAS MENDEZ, Petitioner, v. LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General, Respondent.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
Agency No. A096-362-961 MEMORANDUM On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Before: HAWKINS, GRABER, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Mayra Graciela Cardenas Mendez, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") denial of her motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.
We grant Cardenas Mendez's motion to accept her late-filed reply brief.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Cardenas Mendez's untimely and number-barred motion to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), because it considered the record and acted within its broad discretion in determining that the evidence was insufficient to demonstrate prima facie eligibility for the relief sought, see Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 986; see also Zetino v. Holder, 622 F.3d 1007, 1016 (9th Cir. 2010) (petitioner's "desire to be free from harassment by criminals motivated by theft or random violence by gang members bears no nexus to a protected ground"). Cardenas Mendez's contention that the BIA did not give full and fair consideration to all the evidence does not overcome the presumption that the agency reviewed all of the evidence she presented. See Larita-Martinez v. INS, 220 F.3d 1092, 1095-96 (9th Cir. 2000). In light of our conclusions, we need not reach Cardenas Mendez's remaining contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
