Petition for Review - immigration. Decision to deny motion to reopen removal proceedings was not an abuse of discretion. Motion to reopen order of removal entered in absentia was not filed within 180 days and even if time could be equitably tolled based on ineffective assistance of counsel, petitioner is not entitled to relief because record shows petitioner knew or should have known that his attorney had notice of rescheduled hearing and had been inadequate. Petitioner did not exercise due diligence in filing motion to reopen. [PUBLISHED] [Bowman, Author, with M. Arnold and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
