Accordingly, this petition for review is dismissed in part.

Moreover, a review of the record reflects that the questions raised by petitioner’s challenge to the BIA’s denial of the motion to reopen are so insubstantial as not to require further argument. See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir.1982) (per curiam) (stating standard). Accordingly, respondent’s motion for summary disposition is granted. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (c)(1) (“A motion to reopen proceedings shall state the new facts that will be proven at a hearing ... and shall be supported by affidavits or other evidentiary material.”).
