   MEMORANDUM

Jose Zamorano-Vasquez, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order summarily affirming an immigration judge’s order denying Zamora-no-Vasquez’s motion to reopen proceedings to seek special rule cancellation of removal pursuant to the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act of 1997. Pursuant to the REAL ID Act of 2005, we construe Zamorano-Vasquez’s transferred habeas petition as a petition for review. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 928-29 (9th Cir.2005). We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir.2002), and we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion when it determined that the evidence Zamorano-Vasquez submitted with his motion to reopen was not reliable and inadequate to meet his burden of proof because of his previous, inconsistent testimony and the government’s failure to find evidence corroborating Zamorano-Vasquez’s claims in its records. See Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir.2002) (denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed only if it is “arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law”).

Zamorano-Vasquez’s contention that the April 1, 1990 asylum filing deadline should have been equitably tolled is foreclosed by Munoz v. Ashcroft, 339 F.3d 950, 956-57 (9th Cir.2003) (holding that the April 1, 1990 deadline is not subject to equitable tolling).

We lack jurisdiction to consider Zamora-no-Vasquez’s contentions regarding ineffective assistance of counsel because he failed to raise those claims before the BIA. See Liu v. Waters, 55 F.3d 421, 425-26 (9th Cir.1995) (petitioner is required to exhaust ineffective assistance of counsel claims in a motion to reopen before the BIA).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part. 
      
       This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
