ALICE M. BATCHELDER, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I concur in full with Sections I and II of the lead opinion, discussing the BIA’s denial of Petitioners’ three motions to reopen. I agree with the lead opinion’s conclusion that Petitioners did not satisfy the procedural Lozada requirements for bringing an ineffective assistance of counsel claim in an immigration proceeding. Because it is clear that Petitioners did not comply with the Lozada requirements, I find it unnecessary to reach the merits of Petitioners’ ineffective assistance claim and do not join the lead opinion’s discussion of the merits, found in Section III.
