Docket

*1 Before: SCHROEDER, SILVERMAN, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.

Marvin Erick Vargas Garcia, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen and remand. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review the *2 BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen and remand for abuse of discretion. Movsisian v. Ashcroft , 395 F.3d 1095, 1098 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Vargas Garcia’s motion to reopen and remand based on changed country conditions where he failed to establish prima facie eligibility for relief. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Ramirez- Munoz v. Lynch , 816 F.3d 1226, 1228 (9th Cir. 2016) (the BIA may deny a motion to reopen for failure to establish prima facie eligibility for the relief sought); Nagoulko v. INS , 333 F.3d 1012, 1018 (9th Cir. 2003) (possibility of persecution “too speculative”). We reject as unsupported by the record Vargas Garcia’s contention that the agency ignored evidence, misstated the record, or otherwise erred in its analysis of his motion.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
