JEFFERSON B. SESSIONS III, Attorney

                Respondent.

                     On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                         Board of Immigration Appeals

                               Submitted May 15, 2018**


Before:      SILVERMAN, BEA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.

      Jose Maria Huerta-Pimentel, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to

reopen deportation proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We

review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Luna v. Holder,


      *
             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
      **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
659 F.3d 753, 758 (9th Cir. 2011). We deny the petition for review.

      The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying as untimely Huerta-

Pimentel’s motion to reopen to seek a waiver under former 8 U.S.C. § 1182(c),

where it was filed more than 18 years after his final administrative order and more

than 10 years after the deadline for special motions to reopen to seek such relief.

See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (motion to reopen must be filed 90 days after a final

administrative order); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.44(h) (special motions to reopen to seek a

waiver under former 8 U.S.C. § 1182(c) must be filed by April 26, 2005). The BIA

did not abuse its discretion in determining Huerta-Pimentel had not shown the

requisite due diligence for equitable tolling of the filing deadline, where the record

shows he did not file his motion within 90 days of consulting with his attorney and

discovering the “vital information bearing on the existence of his claim.” See

Avagyan v. Holder, 646 F.3d 672, 679, 682 (9th Cir. 2011) (citations omitted)

(listing factors to determine whether an alien has acted with due diligence; a

motion is timely filed if it is filed within 90 days of obtaining the vital information

bearing on the existence of the claim).

      Contrary to Huerta-Pimentel’s contention, the BIA sufficiently explained its

decision. See Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 990 (9th Cir. 2010).

      Because the timeliness determination is dispositive, we do not, and the BIA

was not required to, address Huerta-Pimentel’s remaining contentions regarding


                                           2                                     16-70894

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
