Docket

*1 Before: SILVERMAN, TALLMAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

Felipe Galarza-Gallegos, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen. Toufighi v. Mukasey , *2 538 F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Galarza-Gallegos’s untimely motion to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), where Galarza-Gallegos failed to demonstrate prima facie eligibility for relief, see Toufighi , 538 F.3d at 996; see Nagoulko v. INS , 333 F.3d 1012, 1018 (9th Cir. 2003) (possibility of persecution “too speculative”). In light of our disposition, we do not reach Galarza-Gallegos’s family social group contention.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
