Suren Hovanesyan v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Suren Hovanesyan v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Suren Hovanesyan, a native and citizen of Armenia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Singh v. Gonzales, 491 F.3d 1090, 1095 (9th Cir. 2007), and we deny the petition for review.
The agency acted within its discretion in denying as untimely Hovanesyan’s motion to reopen because it was filed more than three yeai's after the final removal order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(1), and Hovanesyan did not show that he acted with the due diligence required for equitable tolling of the filing deadline, see Singh, 491 F.3d at 1096-97.
Hovanesyan’s request for oral argument is denied.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
