(“NACARA”), and its order denying her motion to reconsider. Our jurisdiction is
governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of
motions to reopen and reconsider, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th
Cir. 2005), and we deny in part and dismiss in part the petitions for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Polanco-Chinchilla’s motion
to reopen where her motion was filed more than five years after the September 11,
1998, NACARA deadline, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.43(e)(1), and Polanco-Chinchilla
did not demonstrate she acted with the due diligence required for equitable tolling,
cf. Albillo-De Leon v. Gonzalez, 410 F.3d 1090 (9th Cir. 2005).
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Polanco-Chinchilla’s motion
to reconsider where the motion failed to identify any error of fact or law in the
BIA’s prior decision. 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).
We lack jurisdiction to review Polanco-Chinchilla’s ineffective assistance of
counsel claim because she failed to exhaust it before the BIA. See Barron v.
Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004).
Polanco-Chinchilla’s remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITIONS FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
