discretion the agency’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 the motion to reopen to
apply our decisions in Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049 (9th Cir. 2009) and
Tampubolon v. Holder, 610 F.3d 1056 (9th Cir. 2010). See Wakkary, 558 F.3d at
1065 (even under disfavored group analysis, petitioner must present some evidence
of individualized risk).
Further, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Pio’s motion to
reopen, because Pio failed to establish materially changed circumstances in
Indonesia to qualify for an exception to the time limitations for a motion to reopen,
see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 988-89 (evidence must be
“qualitatively different” to warrant reopening).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
