MEMORANDUM **

Clyde J. Pinto, a native and citizen of India, 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. Reviewing for abuse of discretion, Bhasin v. Gonzales, 423 F.3d 977, 983 (9th Cir. 2005), we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Pinto’s motion on discretionary grounds without ruling on his claim for equitable tolling. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (stating that BIA has the discretion to deny a motion to reopen “even if the party moving has made out a prima facie case for relief.”). The BIA articulated the basis of its decision and reasonably concluded that Pinto’s presentation of a false birth certificate and incredible testimony outweighed any positive equities in his favor. See Bhasin, 423 F.3d at 983-84.

Pinto’s due process claims are not persuasive.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
