Decision Summary
The motion to reopen was rejected as untimely, having been filed 656 days after the appeal was dismissed, far beyond the 30-day regulatory period. The petitioner's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel was not accepted as a valid excuse for the delay because it was not properly substantiated according to the requirements of Matter of Lozada.
