Rajwinder Singh v. Loretta E. Lynch, 623 F. App'x 406 (9th Cir. 2015)

Rajwinder Singh v. Loretta E. Lynch

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Rinawati and Tjahaja Pratomo Bong, natives and citizens of Indonesia, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying them motion to reopen immigration 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 m denymg petitioners’ motion to reopen because it was untimely and petitioners did not establish materially changed circumstances in Indonesia as to overcome the time limitation for a motion to reopen. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 987-90 (evidence must be “qualitatively different” to warrant reopening). We reject petitioners’ contention that the BIA ignored evidence. See id. at 986 (the court “defer[s] to the BIA’s exercise of discretion unless it acted arbitrarily, irrationally, or contrary to law”).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
