Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted September 26, 2017**
Before: SILVERMAN, TALLMAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
Hernan Lopez-Cabrera, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for

motion to reopen. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005).
We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion as untimely
where the motion was filed over two years after the order of removal became final
and Lopez-Cabrera has not established that his motion falls within any exception to
filing deadline. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(i)-(iv).
Contrary to Lopez-Cabrera’s contention, the BIA did not mischaracterize the
motion to reopen or fail to properly address his contentions. Accordingly the BIA
did not violate due process in denying the motion. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241,
1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (to prevail on a due process challenge, an alien must
demonstrate error and substantial prejudice).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
