review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Iturribarria v. INS,
321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh’s motion to reopen as
untimely where the motion was filed more than 90 days after the issuance of the
BIA’s April 25, 2006, order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Singh failed to
establish the grounds for equitable tolling, see Iturribarria, 321 F.3d at 897.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
