On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Agency No. A096-355-758.
Before: SCHROEDER, ALARCÓN, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Petar Donchev Bakalov, a native and citizen of Bulgaria, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying his motion to reopen. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Singh v. Gonzales, 491 F.3d 1090, 1095 (9th Cir. 2007). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Bakalov's motion to reopen as untimely because the motion was filed five years after the final order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Bakalov failed to establish the due diligence required for equitable tolling, see Singh, 491 F.3d at 1096-97.
To the extent that Bakalov challenges the BIA's December 22, 2005, order, we lack jurisdiction to consider his contentions. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1).
We need not consider Bakalov's remaining contentions in light of our disposition.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
