Submitted January 10, 2011**
Before: BEEZER, TALLMAN, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.

Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), we deny the petition for
review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Zhu’s motion to reopen as
untimely and number-barred where the successive motion was filed more than four
years after the BIA’s January 26, 2004, final order of removal, see 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(c)(2), and Zhu failed to establish changed circumstances in China to
qualify for the regulatory exception to the time and number filing limitations, see 8
C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 996 (9th
Cir. 2008) (evidence must demonstrate prima facie eligibility for relief sought in
order to reopen proceedings based on changed country conditions).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
