Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted February 11, 2013 **
Before: FERNANDEZ, TASHIMA, and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges.

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to

jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of
a motion to reopen, and review de novo constitutional claims. 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 or violate due process in denying
Nolasco-Villacre’s motion to reopen as untimely, where it was filed over ten years
after her order of removal became final, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (motion to
reopen generally must be filed within 90 days of the final order), and
Nolasco-Villacre failed to establish that she qualified for equitable tolling of the
filing deadline, see Avagyan v. Holder, 646 F.3d 672, 678-80 (9th Cir. 2011)
(equitable tolling is available to a petitioner who establishes that she was prevented
from filing because of deception, fraud or error, and exercised due diligence in
discovering such circumstances); see also Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th
Cir. 2000) (requiring error and prejudice to prevail on a due process claim).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
