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

                             Submitted April 20, 2011 **

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

       Maribel Salcedo-Gutierrez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se

for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her

motion to reopen 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 the petition for review.

      The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Salcedo-Gutierrez’s motion

to reopen because she failed to set forth any new facts or present new evidence to

challenge the agency’s previous finding regarding her lack of good moral

character. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1) (providing that a motion to reopen “shall

state the new facts that will be proven at a hearing to be held if the motion is

granted and shall be supported by affidavits or other evidentiary material”); see

also 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f)(7) (stating that an alien who has served over 180 days in

prison may not establish good moral character).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
