discretion the 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 Singh’s motion to reopen as
untimely where it was filed almost four 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 to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limit for filing
motions to reopen. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 987
(new evidence must be qualitatively different from the evidence presented at the
prior proceeding to be material).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
