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,
Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for
review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Murga-Aquino’s motion to
reopen as untimely because it was filed five years after the BIA’s final order of
removal, see 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(i) (motion to reopen must be filed within
90 days of final order of removal), and Murga-Aquino did not show he was entitled
to equitable tolling, see Iturribarria, 321 F.3d at 897 (deadline for filing motion to
reopen can be equitably tolled “when petitioner is prevented from filing because of
deception, fraud, or error, as long as the petitioner acts with due diligence”).
Murga-Aquino’s remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
