Heading: the order dismissing the appeal

Text: Jaisinghani asks us to review the BIA’s order summarily dismissing his appeal. Under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1), a “petition for review must be filed not later than 30 days after the date of the final order of removal.” The BIA issued its summary dismissal of his appeal on November 21, 2005. He filed his petition for review by this court on April 24, 2006, 154 days after the order. His petition was untimely unless the intervening motion to reopen served to extend his time. We hold that it did not. By the time the motion was filed–on February 16, 2006–the time to file a petition had already expired. The filing of his motion could not revive his right to petition for review. Moreover, a removal order becomes final upon dismissal of an appeal by the BIA, and the filing of a motion to reopen does not toll the time to petition for review. Stone v.
