U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2011-05-04

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

Relies on Iturribarria v. Immigration & Naturalization Service

Decided 2011-05-04

¶1 MEMORANDUM …

¶2 Floridalma Perez-Samayoa, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s (“U”) decision denying her motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir.2003), and we deny the petition for review.

¶3 The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Perez-Samayoa’s motion to reopen because the motion was filed more than fifteen years after the IJ’s February 22, 1994, deportation order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(1), and Perez-Samayoa failed to establish that she acted with the due diligence required for equitable tolling, see Itumbarria, 321 F.3d at 897 (deadline can be equitably tolled “when a petitioner is prevented from filing because of deception, fraud, or error, as long as the petitioner acts with due diligence”).

¶4 PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

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