Maria R. Alvarez, and her son, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying them motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Iturribarria v.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Alvarez’s motion to reopen as untimely because it was filed more than nine years after the BIA’s January 15, 1997 order dismissing Alvarez’s underlying appeal, and Alvarez failed to establish that she acted with the due diligence required for equitable tolling. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (c)(2) (motion to reopen must generally be filed within 90 days of the final order); Iturribarria, 321 F.3d at 897 (deadline for filing a motion to reopen can be equitably tolled “when a petitioner is prevented from filing because of deception, fraud, or error, as long as the petitioner acts with due diligence”); see also Hernandez v.…
