Hardeep Bhamra v. Loretta E. Lynch
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Baljit Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his 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. Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review.
*444 The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh’s motion to reopen because it was filed more than four years after his order of removal became final, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Singh failed to establish materially changed circumstances in India as to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limitation for motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 987-90 (9th Cir. 2010) (evidence must be “qualitatively different” to warrant reopening); see also Toufighi, 538 F.3d at 996-97 (evidence was immaterial in light of prior adverse credibility determination); Go v. Holder, 744 F.3d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 2014) (holding that “the procedural requirements specified in 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c) apply to CAT claims”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
