View this case - free  

Overview: Where alien did not pursue his case with due diligence during 14 months between BIA decision and his motion to reopen, his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel did not operate to toll the 90 day time-period under 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2). BIA did not abuse its discretion when it denied alien's motion to reopen because it was filed out of time.
