abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d
988, 992 (9th Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Myint’s motion to reopen as
untimely where the motion was filed over two years after the BIA’s final decision,
see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Myint failed to establish changed circumstances in
Burma to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limitation, see 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also Toufighi, 538 F.3d at 996-97 (underlying adverse
credibility determination rendered evidence of changed circumstances immaterial).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
