Pineda-Oreana v. Holder

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Rosario Del Carmen Pena-Pineda, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion *934 to reopen based on ineffective assistance of counsel. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Pena-Pineda’s motion to reopen as untimely because the motion was filed more than ninety days after the BIA’s July 18, 2005, order dismissing her appeal, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Pena-Pineda failed to establish grounds for equitable tolling, see Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 897 (9th Cir. 2003) (equitable tolling is available to a petitioner who is prevented from filing due to deception, fraud or error, and exercises due diligence in discovering such circumstances).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
