The BIA acted within its discretion in denying Duran-Ramirez’s motion to reopen as untimely because it was not filed within 90 days of the BIA’s final decision on his underlying appeal, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Duran-Ramirez failed to establish that he acted with the due diligence required for equitable tolling, see Singh, 491 F.3d at 1096-97.
