F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Wan’s motion to reopen as
untimely where the motion was filed seven years after the BIA’s final order, see
8 C.F.R § 1003.2(c)(2), and where Wan failed to demonstrate changed country
conditions in China to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time and number
limitations for filing a motion to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also
Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 987-90 (petitioner failed to show evidence was
“qualitatively different” to warrant reopening).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
