Before McMILLIAN, LOKEN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges. ___________
PER CURIAM.
Nora Estrada, a native of Guatemala, petitions for review of a final decision of the Immigration and Naturalization Service after the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) dismissed as untimely her appeal from a decision of the Immigration Judge. Estrada does not argue that her appeal to the BIA was timely, and the BIA cannot waive the appeal deadline as Estrada suggests. See Atiqullah v. Immigration & Naturalization Serv., 39 F.3d 896, 898 (8th Cir. 1994) (per curiam) (time limit for filing notice of appeal to BIA is mandatory and jurisdictional). Accordingly, we deny Estrada&s petition.
A true copy.
