Submitted May 25, 2010**
Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Iturribarria v. INS,
321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Yang’s motion to reopen as
untimely where the motion was filed more than three years after the immigration
judge’s removal order became final. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.3(c). Yang failed to
establish the due diligence required to warrant tolling of the motions deadline, see
Iturribarria, 321 F.3d at 897, and the documentary evidence she submitted was
insufficient to establish a material change in enforcement of China’s one-child
policy against similarly situated individuals, see Lin v. Holder, 588 F.3d 981, 986
(9th Cir. 2009).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
