Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Luis Alfredo Vasquez petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) that affirmed an immigration judge's denial of his motion to reopen. Because we conclude Vasquez's petition for review was untimely filed more than 30 days after the BIA issued its final order, we lack jurisdiction to review the order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1) (petition for review "must be filed" not later than 30 days after date of final order); Fed. R.App. P. 26(a) (computation of time); Yang v. Mukasey, 510 F.3d 793, 795-96 (8th Cir.2007) (noting denial of motion to reopen is final order that has to be appealed within 30 days); Skurtu v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 651, 658 (8th Cir.2008) (dismissing petition for lack of jurisdiction because 30-day time limit for filing petition is mandatory and jurisdictional).
Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.
