   MEMORANDUM

Ramon Rivera-Gutierrez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) denial of his motion to reopen his removal proceedings, in which he applied for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for abuse of discretion, Singh v. INS, 213 F.3d 1050, 1052 (9th Cir.2000), we deny the petition for review.

In its order dismissing Rivera-Gutierrez’s appeal, the BIA stated that “there is no evidence that the respondent cannot receive ... medication or medical attention in Mexico.” The order under review repeats that “the respondent has failed to show that medical treatment to treat his diabetic condition is unavailable to him in Mexico.” It was within the BIA’s discretion to require evidence of the alleged inferior care that Rivera-Gutierrez would receive in Mexico. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1) (“A motion to reopen proceedings 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.”).

Absent this evidence, the BIA did not act arbitrarily, irrationally, or contrary to law in concluding that the motion to reopen did not establish Rivera-Gutierrez’s prima facie eligibility for cancellation of removal, as its contents do not “reveal[ ] a reasonable likelihood that the ... requirements for relief have been satisfied.” Ordonez v. INS, 345 F.3d 777, 785 (9th Cir. 2003) (quoting In re S-V-, 22 I. & N. Dec. 1306 (BIA 2000) (en banc)). In these circumstances, the BIA did not abuse its discretion, or commit a due process violation, by denying reopening and a further hearing before the Immigration Judge.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
