denial of a motion to reopen. Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir.
2010). We deny the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion by denying Singh’s motion to reopen
where it was filed thirteen years after his final order of removal, see 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.23(b)(1), and where Singh failed to establish materially changed
circumstances in India to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limitation,
see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(4)(i); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 990 (evidence must be
“qualitatively different” to warrant reopening).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
