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 by denying Wang’s motion to reopen
because the motion was filed more than three years after the BIA’s December 1,
2004, order dismissing the underlying appeal, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and

equitable tolling, see Iturribarria, 321 F.3d at 897.
In light of our disposition, we do not reach Wang’s remaining contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
