abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen. Malty v. Ashcroft, 381
F.3d 942, 945 (9th Cir. 2004). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Deepak’s motion to reopen
as untimely where the motion was filed more than seven years after the BIA’s final
order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Deepak failed to present sufficient evidence
of changed circumstances in India to qualify for the regulatory exception to the
time limit for filing motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also
Malty, 381 F.3d at 945 (“The critical question is . . . whether circumstances have
changed sufficiently that a petitioner who previously did not have a legitimate
claim for asylum now has a well-founded fear of persecution.”) Deepak’s
contention that the BIA failed to consider all the evidence he presented with the
motion to reopen is not supported by the record.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
