MEMORANDUM

Balwinder Singh Malhi, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Malhi’s motion to reopen as time- and number-barred because the successive motion was filed more than three years after the BIA’s June 10, 2003, order dismissing his underlying appeal. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (c)(2) (only one motion to reopen permitted and the motion generally must be filed within 90 days of the final order). It follows that Malhi’s due process claim fails.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
