 ERIC H. HOLDER Jr., Attorney General,

               Respondent.

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

                             Submitted February 16, 2010 **

Before:        FERNANDEZ, GOULD, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

        Norman Djuana, native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of a

Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) denial of his motion to reopen. We have

jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review the BIA’s decision on a motion to

reopen for abuse of discretion. Membreno v. Gonzales, 425 F.3d 1227, 1229 (9th

Cir. 2005) (en banc). We deny the petition for review.

       The BIA did not abuse its discretion in concluding that the new evidence

Djuana submitted did not show prima facie eligibility for relief because the

evidence only established there was on-going general strife in Indonesia and did

not show any individualized risk to Djuana. See Konstantinova v. INS, 195 F.3d
528, 530 (9th Cir. 1999).

       We reject Djuana’s contention that the BIA used the wrong standard in

denying his motion to reopen, and we reject his contention that the BIA required

him to submit affidavits.

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
