Jose Valencia-Lopez v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Jose Valencia-Lopez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying as untimely Valencia-Lopez’s motion to reopen because it was filed more than 90 days after the BIA’s final removal order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Valencia-Lopez did not show he acted with the due diligence required for equitable tolling, see Singh v. Gonzales, 491 F.3d 1090, 1096-97 (9th Cir. 2007).

In light of our disposition, we need not reach Valencia-Lopez’s remaining contentions.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
