governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a
motion to reopen, Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010), and the
denial of a motion to terminate, Dominguez v. Barr, 975 F.3d 725, 734 (9th Cir.
2020). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to
reopen and terminate as untimely where it was filed more than eight years after the
order of removal became final, see 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(i); 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(c)(3), and petitioners did not establish that equitable tolling was
warranted where their contentions that the immigration court lacked jurisdiction
over their proceedings are foreclosed by Aguilar Fermin v. Barr, 958 F.3d 887,
895 (9th Cir. 2020) (“the lack of time, date, and place in the NTA sent to
[petitioner] did not deprive the immigration court of jurisdiction over her case”),
see Lona v. Barr, 958 F.3d 1225, 1230-31 (9th Cir. 2020) (discussing, in part, the
application of equitable tolling to deadlines on motions to reopen).
We lack jurisdiction to consider petitioners’ contention that Zagarra-
Carrion’s allegedly defective notice of hearing violated his right to due process.
See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677-78 (9th Cir. 2004) (court lacks
jurisdiction to review claims not presented to the agency).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
