MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted November 18, 2015**

Rajwinder Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the
Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen
removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for
abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen, Toufighi v. Mukasey,

538 F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh’s motion to reopen as
untimely because the motion was filed over two years after the BIA’s final order,
see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Singh failed to present material evidence of
changed circumstances in India to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time
limitation for filing a motion to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also
Toufighi, 538 F.3d at 996-97 (underlying adverse credibility determination
rendered evidence of changed circumstances immaterial). We reject Singh’s
contentions that the BIA failed to fully consider his arguments and evidence. See
Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 990-91 (9th Cir. 2010).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
