 v.                                              MEMORANDUM*

LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General,

              Respondent.


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

                            Submitted January 18, 2017**

Before:      TROTT, TASHIMA, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.

      Maria Hortencia Moreno De Rios, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions

for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her

motion to reopen removal proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C.

§ 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Lin v.

      *
             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).
Holder, 588 F.3d 981, 984 (9th Cir. 2009). We deny in part and dismiss in part the

petition for review.

      The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Moreno De Rios’s motion to

reopen as untimely, where the motion was filed twelve years after her final order of

removal, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and she did not demonstrate the due

diligence necessary to warrant equitable tolling of the filing deadline, see Avagyan

v. Holder, 646 F.3d 672, 679 (9th Cir. 2011) (equitable tolling is available to an

alien who is prevented from filing a motion to reopen due to deception, fraud, or

error, as long as the alien exercises due diligence in discovering such

circumstances). Moreno De Rios also failed to present sufficient evidence of

materially changed country conditions in Mexico to qualify for the regulatory

exception to the filing deadline. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Lin, 588 F.3d at

989 (BIA’s determination that petitioner did not establish materially changed

country conditions was not “arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law”).

      We reject Moreno De Rios’s contentions that the BIA failed to consider

evidence and arguments presented in her motion, or insufficiently explained its

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

must “merely . . . announce its decision in terms sufficient to enable a reviewing




                                           2                                    14-73692
court to perceive that it has heard and thought and not merely reacted” (citation and

quotation marks omitted)).

      We lack jurisdiction to consider Moreno De Rios’s unexhausted due process

contention regarding the withdrawal of her asylum application. See Barron v.

Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677-78 (9th Cir. 2004) (explaining that due process claims,

procedural in nature, must be exhausted).

      To the extent Moreno De Rios alleges the immigration judge violated her

due process rights during her 1999 proceedings, this petition is not timely as to that

order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1).

      To the extent Moreno De Rios seeks prosecutorial discretion, we lack

jurisdiction to consider such a request. See Vilchiz-Soto v. Holder, 688 F.3d 642,

644 (9th Cir. 2012) (order).

      In light of our disposition, we do not reach Moreno De Rios’s remaining

contentions.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part, DISMISSED in part.
