   MEMORANDUM

Jesus Perez-Velazquez, native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. See Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir.2003). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying the motion to reopen, because the BIA considered the evidence Perez-Velazquez submitted and acted within its broad discretion in determining that the evidence was insufficient to warrant reopening. See Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir.2002) (The BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed only if it is “arbitrary, irrational or contrary to law.”).

Perez-Velazquez’s contention that the BIA violated its regulations in denying the motion to reopen fails to state a colorable due process claim. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir.2005) (“[traditional abuse of discretion challenges recast as alleged due process violations do not constitute colorable constitutional claims that would invoke our jurisdiction.”).

Because the BIA’s conclusion that Perez-Velazquez failed to make a prima facie showing that his child will suffer exceptional and extremely unusual hardship is dispositive, we do not consider contentions relating to physical presence or voluntary departure.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
