Respondent.

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

Submitted March 13, 2018**

Before: LEAVY, M. SMITH, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.

Jose Luis Echeverria Magana, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an

immigration judge’s order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. We

have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the

See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). denial of a motion to reopen, and we review de novo questions of law. Najmabadi

v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Echeverria Magana’s

motion to reopen, where he did not include with the motion any applications or

sufficient supporting documentation for the relief sought. See 8 C.F.R.

§ 1003.2(c)(1) (“A motion to reopen proceedings for the purpose of submitting an

application for relief must be accompanied by the appropriate application for relief

and all supporting documentation.”).

We do not reach Echeverria Magana’s contentions regarding sua sponte

reopening. See Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 986 (review is limited to the actual grounds

relied upon by the BIA).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
