v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying petitioners’ untimely
motion to reopen where petitioners failed to demonstrate changed country
conditions in Guatemala to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time
limitation. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2)-(3); see also Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 990-
91 (evidence must be “qualitatively different” to warrant reopening).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
