Submitted December 15, 2009**
Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.

review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Singh v. Gonzales,
491 F.3d 1090, 1095 (9th Cir. 2007), and we deny in part and dismiss in part the
petition for review.
The BIA acted within its discretion in denying as untimely Rivera Cid’s
motion to reopen because it was filed more than 90 days after the BIA’s final
removal order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (motion to reopen must be filed
within 90 days of final administrative removal order), and Rivera Cid did
not show that he acted with the due diligence required for equitable tolling, see
Singh, 491 F.3d at 1096-97.
To the extent Rivera Cid contends that the BIA violated his due process
rights by disregarding his hardship evidence, the contention is not supported by
the record and does not amount to a colorable constitutional claim. See Martinez-
Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
