abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d
889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Azatyan’s motion to reopen
because it was her third motion to reopen and it was filed more than three years
after the BIA’s November 23, 2005, final order of removal. See 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(c)(2).
The BIA also did not abuse its discretion in denying Azatyan’s motion to
reopen on the ground that Azatyan failed to present material and previously
unavailable evidence of changed circumstances to qualify for the regulatory
exception to the filing deadline. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Toufighi v.
Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 996-97 (9th Cir. 2008) (underlying adverse credibility
determination rendered evidence of changed circumstances immaterial).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
