review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Mohammed v.
Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ third motion to
reopen as untimely and number-barred where the motion was filed more than three
years after the final administrative order was entered in their case, see 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(c)(2), and petitioners failed to demonstrate that they were eligible for
equitable tolling of the filing deadline, see Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 897
(9th Cir. 2003).
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ untimely request
to withdraw from their grant of voluntary departure. See Dada v. Mukasey, 128
S.Ct. 2307, 2319 (2008).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
