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.
Luis Alfredo Mata-Fasardo, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to
reopen deportation proceedings held in absentia. We have jurisdiction under
8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to

reopen, Singh v. Gonzales, 491 F.3d 1090, 1095 (9th Cir. 2007), and we deny the
petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Mata-Fasardo’s motion to
reopen as untimely because the motion was filed more than 13 years after his 1996
deportation order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Mata-Fasardo did not show that
he acted with the due diligence required for equitable tolling of the filing deadline,
see Singh, 491 F.3d at 1096-97. It follows that the denial of Mata-Fasardo’s
motion to reopen did not violate due process. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241,
1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error for a due process violation).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
