See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). denial of a motion to reopen, and we review de novo questions of law. Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review. The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Echeverria Magana’s motion to reopen, where he did not include with the motion any applications or sufficient supporting documentation for the relief sought. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1) (“A motion to reopen proceedings for the purpose of submitting an application for relief must be accompanied by the appropriate application for relief and all supporting documentation.”). We do not reach Echeverria Magana’s contentions regarding sua sponte reopening. See Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 986 (review is limited to the actual grounds relied upon by the BIA).
