[Discuss arguments/additional evidence and explain why reopening is not warranted.]
We looked at the [determination(s)] OR [decision(s)] and the reason for [it/ them] only to see whether our rules gave any reason to reopen [it/them]. We did not consider the merits of the [determination(s)] OR [decision(s)].
