review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Singh v. INS, 295
F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to
reopen as untimely because the motion was filed over three years after the BIA’s
final decision, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and they failed to present material
evidence of changed circumstances in Mexico to qualify for the regulatory
exception to the time limitation for filing motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 996 (9th Cir. 2008)
(requiring movant to produce material evidence with motion to reopen that
conditions in country of nationality had changed).
In light of our disposition, we do not reach petitioners’ remaining
contentions regarding their prima facie eligibility for relief.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
