an abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538
F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh’s untimely second
motion to reopen where Singh filed the motion over four years after the BIA’s final
decision, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and failed to establish prima facie eligibility
for relief, see Toufighi, 538 F.3d at 996-97. We reject Singh’s contention the BIA
failed to properly address his evidence, or otherwise abused its discretion in
considering his claims. See id. at 992 (“This Court defers to the Board’s exercise
of discretion unless it acted arbitrarily, irrationally or contrary to law.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
