MENASHI, 9 MYRNA PÉREZ, 10 ALISON J. NATHAN, 11 Circuit Judges. 12 _____________________________________ 13 14 JESUS MANUEL BARRIOS ROBLERO, 15 Petitioner, 16 17 v. 21-6462 18 NAC 19 MERRICK B. GARLAND, UNITED 20 STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL, 21 Respondent. 22 _____________________________________ 23 24 FOR PETITIONER: Samuel Iroegbu, Albany, NY. 25 26 FOR RESPONDENT: Brian Boynton, Principal Deputy 27 Assistant Attorney General; 28 Jessica E. Burns, Senior 29 Litigation Counsel; Nelle M. 1 Seymour, Trial Attorney, Office of 2 Immigration Litigation, United 3 States Department of Justice, 4 Washington, DC.
5 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a
6 Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby
7 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review
8 is DENIED.
9 Petitioner Jesus Manuel Barrios Roblero, a native and
10 citizen of Mexico, seeks review of a July 21, 2021 decision
11 of the BIA denying his motion to reconsider. In re Barrios
12 Roblero, No. A205 152 943 (B.I.A. July 21, 2021).
13 We review the BIA’s denial of the motion to reconsider
14 for abuse of discretion. Jing Ming Liu v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d
15 109, 111 (2d Cir. 2006). “The BIA abuses its discretion if
16 it acts arbitrarily or capriciously, that is, when it provides
17 no rational explanation, departs from established policies
18 without explanation, or justifies its decision with only
19 conclusory statements.” Zhao Quan Chen v. Gonzales, 492 F.3d
20 153, 154 (2d Cir. 2007).
21 The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Barrios
22 Roblero’s motion to reconsider as untimely. A motion to
23 reconsider “must be filed within 30 days of the date of entry
2 1 of a final administrative order of removal.” 8 U.S.C.
2 § 1229a(c)(6)(B); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(2). Barrios Roblero’s
3 April 2021 motion for reconsideration was untimely filed
4 almost three years after the BIA’s May 2018 decision affirming
5 his removal order. We decline to address his arguments for
6 equitable tolling because he did not raise them before the
7 BIA. Lin Zhong v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 480 F.3d 104, 122
8 (2d Cir. 2006) (explaining that our review is generally
9 limited to issues raised before the BIA and “addressed in a
10 reasoned BIA decision”).
11 Additionally, we find no abuse of discretion in the BIA’s
12 alternative grounds for denying the motion. A motion to
13 reconsider must do more than simply repeat arguments
14 previously raised, as the BIA concluded Barrios Roblero did
15 here. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(6)(C) (providing that motion
16 to reconsider “shall specify the errors of law or fact in the
17 previous order and shall be supported by pertinent
18 authority”); Jin Ming Liu, 439 F.3d at 111 (“The BIA does not
19 abuse its discretion by denying a motion to reconsider where
20 the motion repeats arguments that the BIA has previously
21 rejected.”).
3 1 For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is
2 DENIED. All pending motions and applications are DENIED and
3 stays VACATED.
4 FOR THE COURT: 5 Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, 6 Clerk of Court
