On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. Agency No. A97-351-269.
Before: O'SCANNLAIN, SILVERMAN and GRABER, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
This is a petition for review from the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") denial of a motion to reopen.
We have reviewed the response to the court's October 25, 2007 order to show cause. We conclude summary disposition is appropriate because the questions raised by this petition for review are so insubstantial as not to require further argument. See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir. 1982) (per curiam) (stating standard). The regulations provide that "a party may file only one motion to reopen," and that the motion "must be filed no later than 90 days after the date on which the final administrative decision was rendered in the proceeding sought to be reopened." 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2). The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioner's second motion to reopen, filed more than three years after petitioner was ordered removed in absentia. See Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003). Accordingly, this petition for review is denied.
All other pending motions are denied as moot.
The temporary stay of removal shall continue in effect until issuance of the mandate.
