MEMORANDUM

Angela Mendoza Jimenez and her son, Hugo Mendoza, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying their motion to reopen removal pro-eeedings. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Ochoa-Amaya v. Gonzales, 479 F.3d 989, 992 (9th Cir.2007), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reopen where petitioners did not demonstrate prima facie eligibility for adjustment of status because their priority date was not current. See id. at 992-93.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
