Velasco Sanchez v. Holder

U.S. Courts of Appeals

Decided February 26, 2010

U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2010-02-26

Applies 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (§ 242 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (McCarran-Walter))

Relies on Singh v. Gonzales

Decided 2010-02-26

¶1 MEMORANDUM …

¶2 Gilberto Velasco Sanchez and Bertha Arreguin Contreras, husband and wife and natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying them motion to reopen based on ineffective assistance of counsel. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for abuse of discretion, Singh v. Gonzales, 491 F.3d 1090, 1095 (9th Cir.2007), we deny the petition for review.

¶3 The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to reopen as untimely because the motion was filed more than 21 months after the BIA’s December 2, 2004, order dismissing the underlying appeal, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (motion to reopen must generally be filed within 90 days of the final administrative order), and petitioners failed to establish grounds for equitable tolling. Singh, 491 F.3d at 1096-97.

¶4 Petitioners’ remaining contention is unavailing.

¶5 PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

…

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