Second, to the extent that petitioner’s motion could be construed as a motion to reopen removal proceedings, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in concluding that petitioner’s third motion to reopen was untimely and number-barred. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (c)(2); Perez v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 770, 773 (9th Cir.2008).

*256 All other pending motions are denied as moot. The temporary stay of removal shall continue in effect until issuance of the mandate. The motion for stay of voluntary departure, filed after the departure period had expired, is denied. See Garcia v. Ashcroft, 368 F.3d 1157 (9th Cir.2004).
