Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted July 17, 2012 **
Before: SCHROEDER, THOMAS, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.

abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen. Guzman v. INS, 318
F.3d 911, 912 n.1 (9th Cir. 2003) (per curiam). We dismiss in part and deny in
part the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review Gonzalez-Hernandez’s challenge to the BIA’s
underlying order dismissing his appeal from the immigration judge’s denial of his
asylum, withholding of removal, and Convention Against Torture claims because
this petition is not timely as to that decision. See Singh v. INS, 315 F.3d 1186,
1188 (9th Cir. 2003).
We reject Gonzalez-Hernandez’s contention that he qualifies as an
unaccompanied alien child under the Trafficking Victims Protection
Reauthorization Act of 2008. See 6 U.S.C. § 279(g)(2)(C). Accordingly, his
challenge to the BIA’s denial of his motion to reopen fails.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
