MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted December 9, 2015**
Before: WALLACE, RAWLINSON, and IKUTA, Circuit Judges.
Renfil Syamsir, a native and citizen of Indonesia, 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, Najmabadi v. Holder,

U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent

without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Syamsir’s motion to reopen
because it was untimely, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Syamsir failed to
establish materially changed circumstances in Indonesia to qualify for the
regulatory exception to the time limitation for motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 987-90 (evidence must be “qualitatively
different” to warrant reopening).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
