BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen. Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th
Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Miranda-Sanchez’s motion
to reopen as untimely because it was filed more than one year after the BIA’s final
order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Miranda-Sanchez did not establish
materially changed circumstances in Mexico to qualify for the regulatory exception
to the time limit, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 987-90
(evidence did not establish materially changed country conditions since petitioner’s
prior hearing). In light of this conclusion, we do not reach Miranda-Sanchez’s
remaining contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
