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.
