FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

JUAN MIRANDA-SANCHEZ, No. 13-70833 Petitioner, Agency No. A098-383-065 v. MEMORANDUM* LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General, Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted June 22, 2015** Before: HAWKINS, GRABER, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

Juan Miranda-Sanchez, a native and citizen of Mexico, 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

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

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 in denying Miranda-Sanchez’s motion to reopen as untimely because it was filed more than one year after the BIA’s final order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Miranda-Sanchez did not establish materially changed circumstances in Mexico to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limit, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 987-90 (evidence did not establish materially changed country conditions since petitioner’s prior hearing). In light of this conclusion, we do not reach Miranda-Sanchez’s remaining contentions.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
