   MEMORANDUM

Osmi Elmer De Leon Mazariegos, a native and citizen of Guatemala, 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 denial of a motion to reopen. Perez v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 770, 773 (9th Cir.2008). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA acted within its broad discretion in determining the evidence was insufficient to establish changed country conditions in Guatemala. See Malty v. Ashcroft, 381 F.3d 942, 945 (9th Cir.2004) (“The critical question is ... whether circumstances have changed sufficiently that a petitioner who previously did not have a legitimate claim for asylum now has a well-founded fear of future persecution.”).

Furthermore, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reopen where the new evidence De Leon Mazarie-gos presented with his motion did not support prima facie eligibility for cancellation of removal. See Fernandez v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 592, 600 (9th Cir.2006).

De Leon Mazariegos’ contention that the BIA failed to consider all the evidence submitted with the motion fails, because he has not overcome the presumption that the BIA reviewed the record. See id. at 603.

De Leon Mazariegos’ remaining contentions are unavailing.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
