U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

JUAN LUIS OCADIZ-MENA, No. 20-72192 Agency No. Petitioner, A087-958-614 v.

MEMORANDUM*

MERRICK B. GARLAND, Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals

Submitted August 21, 2024** San Francisco, California

Before: BERZON, BRESS, and VANDYKE, Circuit Judges.

Petitioner seeks review of a Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) decision

denying his untimely motion to reopen based on ineffective assistance of counsel.

We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we deny the petition.

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). When the BIA rules on a motion to reopen, “[o]ur review is limited to the

BIA’s decision where the BIA conducts its own review of the evidence and law.”
