Lopez v. Mukasey

MEMORANDUM ** This is a petition for review from the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) denial of a motion to reopen. Respondent’s unopposed motion for summary disposition is granted because 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). The regulations provide that “a party may file only one motion to reopen,” and that the motion “must be filed no later than 90 days after the date on which the final administrative decision was rendered in the proceeding sought to be reopened.” See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (c)(2). The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioner’s motion to reopen, filed more than one year after the final administrative decision was rendered. See Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir.2003). Nor did the BIA abuse its discretion in determining that petitioner failed to alleged changed circumstances in Mexico that would exempt her from the time limits for filing a motion to reopen. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (e)(3)(ii). Accordingly, this petition for review is denied. The temporary stay of removal shall continue in effect until issuance of the mandate. The motion to reinstate voluntary departure, filed after the departure period had expired, is denied. See Garcia v. Ashcroft, 368 F.3d 1157 (9th Cir.2004). PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provid *616 ed by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
