Munoz Morales v. Holder

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Angel Munoz Morales and Alejandra Munoz, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying their 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, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying as untimely petitioners’ motion to reopen because the motion was filed more than 90 days after the final administrative order. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2); see also Cruz v. Mukasey, 532 F.3d 946, 949 (9th Cir. 2008) (per curiam) (“The pendency of a petition for review of an order of removal does not toll the statutory time limit for the filing of a motion to reopen with the BIA.”).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
