   MEMORANDUM

Beatriz Escobar-Avila, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) denying her motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion, Rodriguez-Lariz v. INS, 282 F.3d 1218, 1222 (9th Cir.2002), and we deny the petition.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion because Escobar-Avila did not file her motion to reopen with the BIA until more than ninety days after the BIA’s dismissal of her appeal. 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”).

Escobar-Avila’s remaining contentions lack merit.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
