OCHWERI v. BARR (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Esnath Mogiti OCHWERI Petitioner v. William P. BARR, Attorney General of the United States Respondent

No. 17-3731

Decided: April 08, 2019

Before BENTON, BOWMAN, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.

Esnath Mogiti Ochweri, Pro Se Carl H. McIntyre, Andrew Oliveira, Benjamin Zeitlin, Trial Attorney, U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Division, Office of Immigration Litigation, Washington, DC, for Respondent

[Unpublished]

Kenyan citizen Esnath Ochweri petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) dismissing her appeal from a decision in which an immigration judge denied her motion to reopen. After careful review, we conclude the BIA’s denial was not an abuse of discretion. See Averianova v. Holder, 592 F.3d 931, 936-37 (8th Cir. 2010) (discussing the standard of review for motions to reopen); 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(i), (ii). Accordingly, the petition is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
