Court Appealed: Petition for Review from the Board of Immigration Appeals

CHAD A. READLER, Circuit Judge. Adrian Galvez-Bravo, a native and citizen of Mexico, seeks review of a Board of Immigration Appeals order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. Galvez-Bravo contends that the Board’s order ignored his core argument and deviated from other Board decisions. While we have jurisdiction to review Galvez-Bravo’s legal challenges to the Board’s order, we conclude that the Board engaged in reasoned decisionmaking in denying his motion. Accordingly, we deny his petition for review. Galvez-Bravo entered the United States in 1994. Save for a brief return to Mexico to marry his wife, he has lived in the Memphis area, working as a subcontractor. The couple has three children, two of whom are U.S. citizens. Following Galvez-Bravo’s brush with the law in 2013, the Department of Homeland Security initiated removal proceedings against him, alleging he was a noncitizen present in the United States without being admitted or paroled. See 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(A)(i). After conceding the charge, Galvez-Bravo sought cancellation of removal under § 240A of the Immigration and Nationality Act. See id. § 1229b(b). For these reasons, we deny the petition for review.
