denial of a motion to reopen, Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th
Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Bonjemaa’s motion to
reopen as untimely where the motion was filed almost four years after the BIA’s
final administrative order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Bonjemaa failed to
demonstrate changed circumstances in Morocco to qualify for the regulatory
exception to the time limitation, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597
F.3d at 987-90.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
