MEMORANDUM **
In these consolidated petitions for review, Roberto Eusebio Martinez-Perez, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) orders denying his motion to reopen and denying his subsequent motion to reconsider. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen and reconsider, and review de novo questions of law, including claims of due process violations due to ineffective assistance of counsel. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir.2005). We deny the petitions for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Martinez-Perez’s motion to reopen as untimely because it was filed almost two years after the BIA’s final order of removal, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Martinez-Perez failed to establish grounds for equitable tolling, see Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 897 (9th Cir.2003) (equitable tolling available to a petitioner who is prevented from filing due to deception, fraud or error, and exercises due diligence in discovering such circumstances); see also Hernandez v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1014, 1020 (9th Cir.2008).
*614Because the untimeliness of the motion to reopen is dispositive, we do not reach Martinez-Perez’s remaining contentions relating to the merits of his underlying ineffective assistance of counsel claim.
The BIA also did not abuse its discretion in denying Martinez-Perez’s motion to reopen based on changed country conditions because he failed to present previously unavailable and material evidence of changed country conditions in Guatemala. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also Konstantinova v. INS, 195 F.3d 528, 530 (9th Cir.1999).
The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Martinez-Perez’s motion to reconsider because he failed to identify any error of fact or law in the BIA’s January 28, 2008, decision. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1).
PETITIONS FOR REVIEW DENIED.
