2 We review the BIA’s denials of motions to reopen or reconsider under a “highly deferential abuse

- of

- discretion standard.” Zhao v. Gonzales , 404 F.3d 295, 303 (5th Cir. 2005). The BIA “abuses its discretion when it issues a decision that is capricious, irrat ional, utterly without foundation in the evidence, based on legally erroneous interpretations of statutes or regulations, or based on unexplained departures from regulations or established policies.” Barrios

- Cantarero v. Holder , 772 F.3d 1019, 1021 (5th C ir. 2014). We review the BIA’s rulings of law de novo and its findings of fact for substantial evidence. Zhu v. Gonzales , 493 F.3d 588, 594 (5th Cir. 2007). Under the substantial

- evidence test, “this court may not overturn the BIA’s factual findings unle ss the evidence compels a contrary conclusion.” Gomez

Palacios v. Holder , 560 F.3d 354, 358 (5th Cir. 2009) . Because the BIA affirmed the IJ’s decision based, in part, on the reaso ns articulated by the IJ, we will also consider the IJ’s decision. See id

. To the extent that Sosa

- Perdomo argues under 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(b)(5)(C)(ii) that she did not receive the notice of hearing mailed to the Illinois address set forth in her Form I

- 830 because she did not supply an address to immigration officials as required by 8 U.S.C. § 1229(a)(1)(F) , reopening is not warranted. See id. at 360

- 61. Further, d espite her affidavit to the contrary, the recor d evidence, including the Form I

- 830, does not compel the conclusion that the BIA erred by finding that Sosa

- P erdomo provided the Illinois address. See id. at 358. In considering whether Sosa

- Perdomo had overcome the weaker presumption of delivery accorded to mailed hearing notices, the BIA did not misapply Matter of M

- R

- A

- , 24 I&N Dec. 665 (BIA 2008) , by taking into account Sosa

- Perdomo’s lack of diligence in failing to file her motion to reopen until over nine years after she was ordered removed in absentia. See 24 I&N Dec. Case: 14-60328 Document: 00513440841 Page: 2 Date Filed: 03/28/2016N o. 14

- 60328

3 at 674 (setting forth a non

- exclusive list of factors which may be considered but instructing that “ all relevant evidence submitted to overcome the weaker presumption of delivery must be considered ”). As Sosa

- Perdomo’s motions sought discretionary relief, she h ad no liberty interest at stake and cannot show that the BIA violated her due process rights

. See Gomez

- Palacios , 560 F.3d at 361 n.2. Finally, Sosa

- Perdomo fails to show that her case met the standard for assignment to a three

- member panel. See 8 C.F.R . § 1003 .1 (e)(6). The BIA did not abuse its discretion. See Zhao , 404 F.3d at 303

. The petitions for review are DENIED. Case: 14-60328 Document: 00513440841 Page: 3 Date Filed: 03/28/2016
