Junning Shi v. Eric H. Holder Jr.
Junning Shi v. Eric H. Holder Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Junning Shi, a native and citizen of China, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir. 2008). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.
To the extent Shi seeks to challenge the BIA’s 2003 order affirming the immigration judge’s decision denying Shi’s application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture, we lack jurisdiction because Shi’s petition for review is untimely as to that decision. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1); Membreno v. Gonzales, 425 F.3d 1227, 1229 (9th Cir. 2005) (en banc).
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Shi’s motion to reopen, because it was untimely, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Shi failed to present sufficient evidence of changed circumstances in order to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limit for filing motions to reopen, 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also Toufi-ghi, 538 F.3d at 996-97 (requiring movant to produce material evidence with motion to reopen that conditions in country of nationality had changed).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
