Gabriel Garcia v. Eric Holder, Jr.

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION JUN 24 2011 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT GABRIEL NAVA GARCIA, No. 10-70546 Petitioner, Agency No. A070-783-976 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted June 15, 2011 ** Before: CANBY, O’SCANNLAIN and FISHER, Circuit Judges. Gabriel Nava Garcia, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions pro se for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). The Board did not abuse its discretion in denying Garcia’s motion to reopen because it was untimely and because it did not establish prima facie eligibility for relief. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c) (setting forth 90-day period for filing motion to reopen). We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction Garcia’s challenge to the Board’s refusal to reopen proceedings sua sponte. Ekimian v. INS, 303 F.3d 1153, 1159 (9th Cir. 2002). PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part. 2 10-70546
