Reyes v. Gonzales

MEMORANDUM * Sara Diaz Reyes petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ denial of her motion to reopen after she was ordered removed in absentia. We deny the petition. When Diaz moved to reopen, she failed to support her motion with any affidavit or other admissible evidence. That, alone, was fatal to her motion. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (c)(1); INS v. Wang, 450 U.S. 139, 143 , 101 S.Ct. 1027, 1030 , 67 L.Ed.2d 123 (1981) (per curiam); Patel v. INS, 741 F.2d 1134, 1137 (9th Cir.1984); Sida v. INS, 665 F.2d 851, 853 (9th Cir.1981). Moreover, her failure yielded up her opportunity: to overcome the presumption that she was aware of the contents of her application for asylum; 1 to overcome the presumption that she did receive notice; 2 and to demonstrate that she received ineffective assistance of counsel or other representative. 3 Petition DENIED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. . See 8 C.F.R. § 208.3 (c)(2). .
