denial of a motion to reopen, Avagyan v. Holder, 646 F.3d 672, 674 (9th Cir.
2011), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Jimenez-Chirinos’ motion to
reopen as untimely where he filed the motion eleven years after his final order of
removal, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (motion to reopen must be filed within 90
days of final order), and failed to show the due diligence required for equitable
tolling of the filing deadline, see Avagyan, 646 F.3d at 679 (equitable tolling is
available to a petitioner who is prevented from filing because of deception, fraud or
error, and exercised due diligence in discovering such circumstances).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
