                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

Before:        RYMER, THOMAS, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.

       Magdy Wadie Saleeb Hanna, a native and citizen of Egypt, petitions for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to

discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Azanor v. Ashcroft, 364 F.3d 1013,

1018 (9th Cir. 2004), and we deny the petition for review.

      The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Hanna’s motion to reopen

because the motion failed to comply with the requirements set forth in Matter of

Lozada, 19 I. & N. Dec. 637, 639 (BIA 1988). See Azanor, 364 F.3d at 1023

(noting that failure to comply with Lozada is significant where the facts underlying

petitioner’s claim were not plain on the face of the record).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
