Patrick Ejedawe v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

MEMORANDUM

In these consolidated petitions for review, Patrick Ejedawe, a native and citizen of Nigeria, petitions pro se for review of an immigration judge’s (“U”) final order of removal and the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Mohammed v.

In No. 09-72543, the BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Ejedawe’s second motion to reopen where the motion was untimely, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (c)(2), and…
