               Respondent.



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

                             Submitted February 16, 2010 **

Before:        FERNANDEZ, GOULD, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

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

Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen. We

have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion

the denial of a motion to reopen. Perez v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 770, 773 (9th Cir.

2008). We deny the petition for review.

        The BIA did not abuse its discretion in construing Singh’s third motion to

reopen as seeking reopening of its January 26, 2005, order, and denying the motion

as untimely filed and number-barred. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c).

        Singh’s remaining contentions are unavailing.

        PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
