U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-3140
Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Loken and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - immigration. The BIA did not abuse its discretion
in denying the motion to reopen. Valencia did not show due diligence to
excuse her lateness and did not demonstrate prejudice based on
ineffective assistance of counsel. The court lacks jurisdiction to review
the BIA's refusal to exercise its authority to reopen proceedings on its
own motion.
