MEMORANDUM **

Abdul Hamid, a native and citizen of Pakistan, appeals from the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision denying his motion to reopen. Because the transitional rules apply, this court has jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a). See Socop-Gonzalez v. INS, 272 F.3d 1176, 1183 (9th Cir. 2001) (en banc). We review for an abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen, id. at 1187, and we deny the petition.

Because Hamid filed his motion to reopen past the 90-day deadline set forth in 8 C.F.R. § 3.2(c)(2) (2000), and has advanced no argument for equitable tolling, the BIA properly denied his motion as untimely. See Socop-Gonzalez, 272 F.3d at 1193.

Hamid’s contentions on appeal lack merit. See Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510 (9th Cir. 2001).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
