abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen, 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 Hilwani’s 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 Hilwani failed to establish materially
changed circumstances in Indonesia to qualify for the regulatory exception to the
time limitations for motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi,
597 F.3d at 988-89 (evidence of changed circumstances must be qualitatively
different from what could have been presented at prior hearing).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
