GARLAND, UNITED 19 STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL,* 20 Respondent. 21 _____________________________________ 22 23 FOR PETITIONER: Rakhvir K. Dhanoa, Esq., New 24 York, NY. 25 26 FOR RESPONDENT: Brian M. Boynton, Assistant 27 Attorney General; Jessica A. 28 Dawgert, Senior Litigation * Pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 43(c)(2), Attorney General Merrick B. Garland is automatically substituted for former Attorney Jeffrey A. Rosen. 1 Counsel; Christopher Buchanan, 2 Trial Attorney, Office of 3 Immigration Litigation, United 4 States Department of Justice, 5 Washington, DC. 6 7 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a 8 Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby 9 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review 10 is DENIED. 11 Petitioner Xuexia Feng, a native and citizen of the 12 People’s Republic of China, seeks review of a December 12, 13 2018 decision of the BIA denying her motion to reopen her 14 removal proceedings.

We review the 21 BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen for abuse of 22 discretion. See Zhao Quan Chen v. Gonzales, 492 F.3d 153, 23 154 (2d Cir. 2007) (per curiam). The BIA abuses its 24 discretion if its “decision provides no rational 2 1 explanation, inexplicably departs from established 2 policies, is devoid of any reasoning, or contains only 3 summary or conclusory statements; that is to say, where the 4 Board has acted in an arbitrary or capricious 5 manner.” Kaur v.
