Juan Martinez-Villanueva v. Eric H. Holder Jr.
Juan Martinez-Villanueva v. Eric H. Holder Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Juan Carlos Martinez-Villanueva, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reconsider as untimely. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider, Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Martinez-Villanueva’s motion to reconsider as untimely because he filed the motion more than 5 months after the BIA issued its final order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(2), and Martinez-Villanueva did not show he acted with the diligence required for equitable tolling, see Singh v. Gonzales, 491 F.3d 1090, 1096-97 (9th Cir. 2007).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
