Harsimran Singh v. Eric H. Holder Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Francisco Pablo Gomez, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review *558 of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his motion to reopen deportation proceedings. 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 (9th Cir. 2005), and we deny the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Gomez’s motion to reopen because the motion was filed nearly ten years after his deportation order became final, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Gomez failed to establish that he acted with the due diligence required for equitable tolling, see Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 897 (9th Cir. 2003) (equitable tolling available “when a petitioner is prevented from filing because of deception, fraud, or error, as long as the petitioner acts with due diligence”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provid *558 ed by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
