                           Board of Immigration Appeals

                              Submitted March 16, 2010 **

Before:        PREGERSON, LEAVY, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.

        Maria Isabel Sanjur and her daughter, Maria Isabel Sanjur, natives and

citizens of Panama, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’

(“BIA”) order denying their motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

NHY/Research
U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen

and review de novo due process claims due to ineffective assistance of counsel.

Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the

petition for review.

       The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Petitioners’ motion to

reopen where Petitioners lacked “plausible grounds for relief.” See Rojas-Garcia

v. Ashcroft, 339 F.3d 814, 826 (9th Cir. 2003).

       Petitioners’ remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
