denial of a motion to reopen, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir.
2005), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to
reopen as untimely where the motion was filed nearly four years after the BIA’s
September 2006 order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and petitioners failed to
establish that they acted with the due diligence required for equitable tolling of the
filing deadline, see Avagyan v. Holder, 646 F.3d 672, 678-80 (9th Cir. 2011)
(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).
In light of our disposition, we need not reach petitioners’ remaining
contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
