reopen. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for abuse of
discretion, Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), we deny in part
and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Manzanares Salvador’s
motion to reopen, because the motion was filed more than 90 days after the BIA’s
January 31, 2005, order dismissing his underlying appeal, see 8 C.F.R. §
1003.2(c)(2) (motions to reopen generally must be filed within 90 days of the
administrative decision), and Manzanares Salvador failed to establish grounds for
equitable tolling, see Iturribarria, 321 F.3d at 897 (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”).
To the extent Manzanares Salvador challenges the BIA’s January 31, 2005,
order dismissing his underlying appeal, we lack jurisdiction because this petition is
not timely as to that order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1); Singh v. INS, 315 F.3d
1186, 1188 (9th Cir. 2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
