Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Horacio Alcaraz Sanchez and Imelda Al-caraz, husband and wife and natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying their 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. Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir.2003). We deny in part and grant in part the petition for review, and remand for further proceedings.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying the motion to reopen with regard to Alcaraz's diagnosis of hyperthyroidism where the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish prima facie eligibility for cancellation of removal. See Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir.2002) (The BIA's denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed only if it is "arbitrary, irrational or contrary to law.").
The BIA did abuse its discretion by denying the motion with regard to petitioners' son's learning disability. The BIA determined that petitioners failed to present new evidence of their son's learning disability. However, the record shows that at the time of their hearing in May 2005, their son's Individualized Education Program dated June 9, 2004, did not indicate a learning disability. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a), (c). Petitioners' new Individualized Education Program dated May 19, 2006, submitted with the motion, does indicate a learning disability.
We remand to the BIA for reconsideration of petitioners' motion to reopen consistent with this disposition.
Each party shall bear its own costs for this petition for review.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; GRANTED in part; REMANDED.
