On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted October 19, 2010 **
Before: O’SCANNLAIN, TALLMAN, and BEA, Circuit Judges.
Navdip Singh Thind, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of
the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen.
Our jurisdiction is governed by 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). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Thind’s April 18, 2008,
motion to reopen as untimely and number-barred because it was his third motion to
reopen and was filed more than four years after the BIA’s final order of removal,
and Thind has neither met any of the exceptions to the filing limitations nor
attached an application for relief as required by regulation. See 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(c)(1)-(3).
We lack jurisdiction to review Thind’s contentions that prior counsel
provided ineffective assistance and that Thind is eligible for relief under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1255(i) because he failed to raise these issues before the BIA and thereby failed
to exhaust his administrative remedies. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678
(9th Cir. 2004).
Thind’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
