Before:        B. FLETCHER, REINHARDT, and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges.

       Pala Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Iturribarria v. INS,

321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.

      The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh’s motion to reopen as

untimely where the motion was filed more than 90 days after the issuance of the

BIA’s April 25, 2006, order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Singh failed to

establish the grounds for equitable tolling, see Iturribarria, 321 F.3d at 897.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
