Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues that are

C.F.R. § 1003.43(e)(1)-(2) (motions to reopen to apply for relief under the
Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act, Pub. L. No. 105-100,
111 Stat. 2160, 2193 (1997), must be filed by September 11, 1998).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
