Relies on United States v. Hooton · Ekimian v. Immigration & Naturalization Service · Perez v. Mukasey

Decided 2008-08-19

¶1MEMORANDUM …

¶2This is a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying petitioner’s motion to reopen.

¶3Respondent’s opposed motion to dismiss is construed as a motion to dismiss, in part, and for summary disposition, in part. So construed, the motion is granted.

¶4We review the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen for abuse of discretion. See Perez v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 770, 773 (9th Cir.2008). The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioner’s motion to reopen because the motion to reopen was untimely and did not meet any of the regulatory exceptions. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), (3). Accordingly, 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).

¶5Moreover, this court lacks jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary decision to decline to exercise its sua sponte authority to reopen petitioner’s case. See Ekimian v. INS, 303 F.3d 1153, 1159 (9th Cir .2002).

¶6All other pending motions are denied as moot. The temporary stay of removal confirmed by Ninth Circuit General Order 6.4(c) shall continue in effect until issuance of the mandate.

¶7PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.

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