Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Mynor Guillermo Andrade-Ortega and Ronald Marcelo Andrade-Ortega, natives and citizens of Guatemala, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying their motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Garcia v. INS., 222 F.3d 1208, 1209 (9th Cir.2000) (per curiam), and we deny the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners' motion to reopen because their former counsel received proper notice of the deportation hearing held on January 9, 1997. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(4)(iii)(2), Garcia, 222 F.3d at 1209 (notice to an attorney of record constitutes notice to petitioner). To the extent petitioners claim exceptional circumstances, petitioners' motion was untimely filed, and petitioners did not demonstrate they warranted equitable tolling. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(4)(iii)(l); Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 897 (9th Cir.2003) (equitable tolling available "when a petitioner is prevented from filing because of deception, fraud, or error, as long as the petitioner acts with due diligence").
Petitioners' remaining contentions are unavailing.
Petitioners' motion to withdraw as counsel is denied.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
