Qiang Wang v. Eric H. Holder Jr.
Qiang Wang v. Eric H. Holder Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Qiang Wang, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen based on ineffective assistance of counsel. 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 by denying Wang’s motion to reopen because the motion was filed more than three years after the BIA’s December 1, 2004, order dismissing the underlying appeal, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Wang failed to demonstrate that he acted with the due diligence required to warrant equitable tolling, see Iturribarria, 321 F.3d at 897.
In light of our disposition, we do not reach Wang’s remaining contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
