Nunez Barreras v. Gonzales

*638 MEMORANDUM **
Refugio Nunez Barreras, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reconsider its order denying his motion to reopen deportation proceedings. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider. See Oh v. Gonzales, 406 F.3d 611, 612 (9th Cir.2005). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in concluding that it properly refused to apply equitable tolling where Nunez Barreras failed to provide evidence that he acted with due diligence in pursuing his ineffective assistance of counsel claim. See Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 897 (9th Cir.2003) (holding that equitable tolling applies “during periods when a petitioner is prevented from filing because of deception, fraud, or error, as long as the petitioner acts with due diligence in discovering the deception, fraud, or error”).
We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s order denying Nunez Barreras’ motion to reopen because the petition for review is not timely as to that order. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1258 (9th Cir.1996).
