   MEMORANDUM

Ajit Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision denying his motion to reopen his deportation proceedings. We have jurisdiction under former 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a). Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1150 (1997). We review for abuse of discretion, Sharma v. INS, 89 F.3d 545, 547 (9th Cir.1996), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh’s second motion to reopen as untimely, because Singh filed the motion more than two years after the BIA’s final decision. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (A motion to reopen “must be filed no later than 90 days after the date on which the final administrative decision was rendered in the proceeding sought to be reopened.”).

We do not consider Singh’s arguments relating to his first motion to reopen. We addressed those arguments in his prior petition for review. Singh v. INS, No. 02-70140, 2003 WL 164307 (9th Cir. Jan.22, 2003) (concluding BIA satisfied statutory notice requirements by mailing notice of decision to address of record for petitioner’s attorney and dismissing equitable tolling claims for failure to exhaust).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
