MEMORANDUM

Miguel Rios Carbajal and Lilia Salgado Carillo, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying their motion to remand and adopting and affirming an immigration judge’s decision denying their cancellation of removal applications. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to remand. Romero-Ruiz v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 1057, 1062 (9th Cir.2008). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to remand for failure to demonstrate that the additional evidence submitted with their motion “was not available and could not have been discovered or presented” at their hearing. 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (c)(1); see also Goel v. Gonzales, 490 F.3d 735, 738 (9th Cir.2007) (per curiam) (evidence capable of being discovered prior to the hearing cannot serve as the basis for a motion to reopen). Contrary to petitioners’ contention, the BIA provided a reasoned explanation for its decision to deny petitioners’ motion.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
