On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. Agency No. A18-514-414.
Before: PREGERSON, TASHIMA, and GOULD, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Jesus Antonio Ibarra-Monroy, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying his motion to reconsider. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Fernandez-Ruiz v. Gonzales, 468 F.3d 1159, 1163 (9th Cir. 2006). We dismiss the petition for review in part and deny it in part.
Ibarra-Monroy's petition for review is timely only with respect to the BIA's February 23, 2006 order. We therefore lack jurisdiction to review Ibarra-Monroy's contentions concerning the two BIA orders from which he did not petition for review. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1); Singh v. INS, 315 F.3d 1186, 1188 (9th Cir. 2003) (the 30-day petition for review deadline is "mandatory and jurisdictional").
To the extent Ibarra-Monroy contends that the BIA should have addressed his motion to reconsider on the merits because his prior motion sought reopening, we disagree. The BIA acted within its discretion in construing Ibarra-Monroy's first motion as a motion to reconsider, because that motion did not contain "a proffer of material evidence," as is required for motions to reopen. See Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 895-96 (9th Cir. 2003).
