   MEMORANDUM

Carlos Roberto Gutierrez-Porras, Irma Gutierrez, and Kenny Gutierrez, natives and citizens of Guatemala, petition pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order denying their motion to reopen removal proceedings based on ineffective assistance of counsel. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, and review de novo claims of due process violations. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir.2005). We deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to reopen where they failed to establish prejudice arising from any alleged ineffective assistance by their former counsel. See id. at 793-94 (“[Pjrejudice results when the performance of counsel was so inadequate that it may have affected the outcome of the proceedings.” (emphasis in original) (internal quotation marks omitted)).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
