On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. Agency No. A079-520-320.

Before: GOODWIN, CLIFTON and BEA, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM

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 of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying petitioner's third motion to reopen removal proceedings.

We review the BIA's ruling on a motion to reopen for abuse of discretion. See Perez v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 770, 773 (9th Cir. 2008).

An alien who is subject to a final order of removal is limited to filing one motion to reopen removal proceedings, and that motion must be filed within 90 days of the date of entry of a final order of removal. 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(A), (C)(i); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2). Because petitioner's third motion to reopen was filed beyond the 90-day deadline, and petitioner has failed to demonstrate that an exception to the time and numerical limits apply, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioner's motion to reopen. See id.

Accordingly, this petition for review is summarily denied because the questions raised by this petition 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).

All other pending motions are denied as moot. The temporary stay of removal shall continue in effect until issuance of the mandate.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
