ERIC H. HOLDER Jr., Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted February 16, 2010 **
Before: FERNANDEZ, GOULD, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the
denial of a motion to reopen, Reyes v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 592, 595 (9th Cir. 2004),
and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Petitioners’ second motion
to reopen as time- and number-barred because it was filed approximately one year
and six months after the BIA’s final order of removal. See 8 U.S.C.
§§ 1229a(c)(7)(A) & (C)(i). Petitioners did not show they were entitled to
equitable tolling because they failed to comply with the requirements set forth in
Matter of Lozada, 19 I. & N. Dec. 637 (BIA 1988). See Reyes, 358 F.3d at 598-99.
Petitioners’ motion for a stay of their voluntary departure period is denied.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
