Jauregui Gutierrez v. Holder

397 F. App'x 384

Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

In these consolidated cases, Jose Humberto Jauregui Gutierrez and his family, natives and citizens of Peru, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) orders denying their motion to reopen based upon ineffective assistance of counsel and denying their motion to reconsider. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denials of motions to reopen and motions to reconsider, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir.2005), and we deny the petitions for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to reopen because the motion was filed more than four years after the BIA’s December 5, 2002, order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and petitioners failed to demonstrate that they acted with the due diligence required for equitable tolling, see Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 897 (9th Cir.2003) (equitable tolling available “when a petitioner is prevented from filing because of deception, fraud, or error, as long as the petitioner acts with due diligence”); see also Singh v. Gonzales, 491 F.3d 1090, 1096-97 (9th Cir.2007).

The BIA also did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to reconsider because petitioners failed to identify any error of fact or law in the BIA’s June 1, 2007, order. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1); Socop-Gonzalez v. INS, 272 F.3d 1176, 1180 n. 2 (9th Cir.2001) (en banc).

Petitioners’ contentions that the BIA failed to adequately address their arguments and applied an incorrect legal standard are unsupported by the record.

PETITIONS FOR REVIEW DENIED.
