MEMORANDUM **

Rolando Rodriguez Maltez, a native and citizen of Nicaragua, petitions 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, Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Rodriguez Maltez’s motion to reopen as untimely where the motion was filed over two-and-a-half years after the BIA’s final administrative order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Rodriguez Maltez failed to demonstrate materially changed circumstances in Nicaragua to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limit for filing motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(h); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 989-90.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
