07-74600 2
pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for abuse of discretion, Malty v. Ashcroft,
381 F.3d 942, 945 (9th Cir. 2004), we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to
reopen because the motion was filed more than three years after the BIA’s order
dismissing the underlying appeal, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and petitioners
failed to demonstrate materially changed circumstances in India to qualify for the
regulatory exception to the filing deadline, see id. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also
Malty, 381 F.3d at 945 (“The critical question is . . . whether circumstances have
changed sufficiently that a petitioner who previously did not have a legitimate
claim for asylum now has a well-founded fear of future persecution.”).
Petitioners’ remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
