On Petition for Review of an Order of the

Before: SCHROEDER, ALARCÓN, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.

review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Iturribarria v. INS,
321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA acted within its discretion in denying as untimely Briseno-
Hernandez’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 he failed to establish
that he was entitled to equitable tolling of the filing deadline, see Iturribarria, 321
F.3d at 897 (deadline for filing a motion to reopen can be equitably tolled where a
petitioner acts with due diligence).
In light of this disposition, we need not reach Briseno-Hernandez’s
remaining contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
