On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted February 21, 2012**
Before: FERNANDEZ, McKEOWN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
Roberto Cardenas Caballero, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for

a motion to reopen, Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), and we
deny the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Cardenas Caballero’s
motion to reopen because the motion was filed more than eleven years after the IJ’s
June 24, 1997, removal order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(1), and Cardenas
Caballero failed to establish that he acted with the due diligence required for
equitable tolling, see Iturribarria, 321 F.3d at 897 (deadline can be equitably tolled
“when a petitioner is prevented from filing because of deception, fraud, or error, as
long as the petitioner acts with due diligence”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
