On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted October 19, 2010 **
Before: O’SCANNLAIN, LEAVY, and TALLMAN, Circuit Judges.
Filiberto Perez Del Muro and Gabriela Gallegos Pantoja, natives and citizens
of Mexico, petition pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’
(“BIA”) order denying their motion to reopen removal proceedings. 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), and we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to
reopen as untimely because it was filed nearly two years after the BIA’s final order
of removal, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (motion to reopen must be filed within
ninety days of final order of removal), and petitioners do not contend they are
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”).
We decline to review petitioners’ challenge to the BIA’s February 6, 2006,
order because the Court has already issued a memorandum disposition in
petitioners’ previous petition for review of that decision. See Perez del Muro v.
Mukasey, 256 Fed.Appx. 98 (9th Cir. 2007).
To the extent it is raised, we lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s decision
not to invoke its sua sponte authority to reopen proceedings under 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(a). See Ekimian v. INS, 303 F.3d 1153, 1159 (9th Cir. 2002).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
