   MEMORANDUM

Jose Antonio Bejarano Tarabillo, a native and citizen of Bolivia, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir.2005), and we deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Bejarano Tarabillo’s motion to reopen on the ground that he failed to present clear and convincing evidence indicating a strong likelihood his marriage was bona fide, and therefore did not establish prima facie eligibility for adjustment of status. See 8 C.F.R. § 204.2(a)(1)(iii)(B); Malhi v. INS, 336 F.3d 989, 993-94 (9th Cir.2003).

Bejarano Tarabillo’s remaining contentions are unavailing.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
