We denied Volodymyr Pavlyk’s petition for review of an order that he (and his
family) must be removed from the United States to Ukraine. 469 F.3d 1082 (7th Cir.

2006). The Pavlyks asked the Board of Immigration Appeals to reopen and, when the
Board denied that request, asked it to reconsider. That motion, too, was denied, and we
denied additional petitions for review. Nos. 07-2750, 07-3583 (7th Cir. Apr. 29, 2008)
(nonprecedential order). The Pavlyks filed with the Board yet another motion to
reopen, and this was denied as untimely and in excess of the number of motions
allowed by law. Another petition for review has been filed concerning that decision.
As we remarked in April, the Pavlyks have contended since the outset of these
proceedings that they are at risk of persecution should they be returned to Ukraine.
That contention has been rejected repeatedly. Reopening is possible if country
conditions change, but the evidence that the Pavlyks have presented in their multiple
motions to reopen does not demonstrate any change in country conditions. The Board
did not abuse its discretion in concluding that the latest motion is untimely and
foreclosed for the further reason that an alien is entitled to file one motion to reopen,
but not a second. 8 U.S.C. §1229a(c)(7)(A).
The petition for review is denied.
