Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition
for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Perez-Fajardo’s motion to
reopen as untimely because Perez-Fajardo failed to present material evidence of
changed circumstances in Guatemala to qualify for the regulatory exception to the
time limit for filing a motion to reopen. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii);
Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 990 (previously unavailable evidence must be material to
the petitioner’s claim).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
