Opinion

No. 11-73860

CORINA REYES-VILLEGAS, Petitioner, v. LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General, Respondent.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

Agency No. A070-952-403 MEMORANDUM On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Before: HAWKINS, GRABER, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

Corina Reyes-Villegas, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying her motion to reconsider. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. This petition for review is timely because the court's records indicate the court received the express mail containing the petition for review on December 15, 2011. See Sheviakov v. INS, 237 F.3d 1144, 1148 (9th Cir. 2001) (when evidence "exists to prove that the package arrived at that address on a certain day," the petition is treated "as received on that day"). We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider. Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Reyes-Villegas's motion for reconsideration, because it failed to identify errors of facts or law in the BIA's prior decision denying her claims for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1).

We lack jurisdiction to review Reyes-Villegas's challenges to the proceedings before the immigration judge, or the BIA's denial on the merits, because this petition for review is untimely as to those proceedings. See Membreno v. Gonzales, 425 F.3d 1227, 1229 (9th Cir. 2005) (en banc) (requiring any petition for review to be "filed not later than 30 days after the date of the final order of removal") (citation and internal quotation omitted).

Finally, we lack jurisdiction to consider Reyes-Villegas's request for prosecutorial discretion. See Vilchiz-Soto v. Holder, 688 F.3d 642, 644 (9th Cir. 2012) (order).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
