Dolores Antonia GUARDADO-ORTEGA, Petitioner, v. Michael B. MUKASEY, Attorney General, Respondent, 255 F. App'x 160

MEMORANDUM This is a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying petitioner’s untimely motion to reopen. A review of the docket reveals that, on July 31, 2007, the filing and docketing fees for this petition for review were paid. Accordingly, the motion to proceed in forma pauperis is denied as unnecessary. The BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen is reviewed for abuse of discretion. See Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir.2002).

The regulations state that a motion to reopen removal proceedings must be filed not later than ninety days after the date on which the final order of removal was entered. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2). The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioner’s motion to reopen. The record demonstrates that petitioner’s final order of removal was entered on April 25, 2006. The record further demonstrates that petitioner’s motion to reopen was filed on March 12, 2007, more than ninety days after the date on which the final order of removal was entered. Accordingly, respondent’s unopposed motion for

summary disposition is granted because the questions raised by this petition for review are so insubstantial as not to require further argument. See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir.1982) (per curiam). All other pending motions are denied as moot. The temporary stay of removal confirmed by Ninth Circuit General Order 6.4(

c) shall continue in effect until issuance of the mandate. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
