The 90-day period in 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) was mandatory and jurisdictional; it was not subject to equitable tolling based on counsel's failure to file a timely motion to reopen.

Overview: Inmate's 28 U.S.C.S. § 2254 petition was untimely, as it was filed 12 days after 28 U.S.C.S. § 2244(d)(1) limitations period expired, even accounting for tolling due to inmate's Ala. R. Crim. P. 32 petition, which was deemed filed on date of hardship affidavit, rather than date of petition, as evidence showed that it was filed on date of affidavit.
