Hang Chen v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Hang Chen v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Hang Chen, a native and citizen of China, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen. Najmabadi 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 Chen’s motion to reopen as untimely where the motion was filed more than six years after her final order of removal, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Chen failed to demonstrate a material change in circumstances in China to qualify for the regulatory exception to the filing deadline, see Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 991; He v. Gonzales, 501 F.3d 1128, 1132 (9th Cir. 2007) (a change in personal circumstances does not establish changed circumstances in the country of origin).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
