Gonzales, 491 F.3d 1090, 1095 (9th Cir. 2007), and we deny the petition for review. The BIA acted within its discretion in denying as untimely Israelyan’s motion to reopen because it was filed more than 90 days after the BIA’s final removal order, see 8 C.F.R. §1003.2(c)(2), and Israelyan did not show that she acted with the due diligence required for equitable tolling, see Singh, 491 F.3d at 1096-97.
