MORALES ROQUE v. BARR (2020)

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Leonardo MORALES-ROQUE Petitioner v. William P. BARR Respondent

No. 19-2089

Decided: May 04, 2020

Before COLLOTON, WOLLMAN, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.

Ta-Yu Yang, Des Moines, IA, for Petitioner Madeline Henley, Trial Attorney, Carl H. McIntyre, Leslie McKay, Assistant Director, U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Division, Office of Immigration Litigation, Washington, DC, for Respondent

[Unpublished]

Mexican citizen Leonardo Morales-Roque petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals denying his motion to reopen his removal proceedings. After careful consideration of the petition, we find no basis for reversal. See Vargas v. Holder, 567 F.3d 387, 391 (8th Cir. 2009) (reviewing denial of motion to reopen for abuse of discretion); see also Xiu Ling Chen v. Holder, 751 F.3d 876, 878 (8th Cir. 2014) (motion to reopen based on new evidence must present evidence that would likely change the result); Ortiz-Puentes v. Holder, 662 F.3d 481, 484-85 (8th Cir. 2011) (requirements for motion to reopen based on ineffective assistance of counsel).

The petition is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

PER CURIAM.
