Decision Summary
The appeal was summarily dismissed on procedural grounds, not the merits of the case. The petitioner failed to address the specific reason for the director's most recent decision, which was the untimeliness of a prior motion to reopen. By instead re-arguing the merits of the original petition, the petitioner failed to identify an error of law or fact in the decision being appealed, leading to dismissal.
