MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted December 14, 2010**
Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.
Epifanio Rodriguez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to
reopen proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review
for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Najmabadi v. Holder, 597

F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny in part and dismiss in part in the petition
for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Rodriguez’s second motion
to reopen as time- and number-barred, because the successive motion was filed
more than one year after the BIA’s final order, 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and
Rodriguez failed to establish material changed country conditions in Mexico, see
id. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 996-97 (9th Cir. 2008).
We lack jurisdiction to review Rodriguez’s contentions regarding the BIA’s
July 31, 2007, order because this petition is not timely to that order. See Singh v.
INS, 315 F.3d 1186, 1188 (9th Cir. 2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
