petition for review.
We do not consider Singh’s challenges to the adverse credibility
determination which the agency made in Singh’s underlying proceedings, and
which this court previously reviewed in Singh v. Holder, No. 10-72011, 570 Fed.
Appx. 644, 2014 WL 1492729 (9th Cir. 2014).
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh’s motion to reopen
where he filed it more than three years after the BIA’s final decision, see 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(c)(2), and Singh failed to establish changed country conditions in India to
qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limit for filing a motion to reopen,
see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 996-97
(9th Cir. 2008) (underlying adverse credibility determination rendered evidence of
changed circumstances immaterial).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
