Date Filed Document Text
September 23, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 18 ORDER FILED. (John B. OWENS, Daniel P. COLLINS, Jennifer SUNG) etitioner seeks review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying a motion to reopen removal proceedings. The BIA did not abuse its discretion in finding petitioners second motion to reopen was number-barred and untimely. See 8U.S.C. 1229a(c)(7)(A) (only one motion to reopen allowed), (c)(7)(C)(i) (motion to reopen must be filed within ninety days of the final removal order). As to sua sponte reopening, we have jurisdiction to review this discretionary determination only for legal or constitutional error. See Lona v. Barr, 958 F.3d 1225, 1227 (9th Cir. 2020). We find no legal or constitutional error underlying the BIAs decision. The motion (Docket Entry No. 14) for summary disposition in part and dismissal in part is granted. See 9th Cir. R. 3-6(a) (standard for summary disposition); United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir. 1982). The motion to stay removal is denied as moot. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part. [Entered: 09/23/2026 02:06 PM]
