Salvador Castro-Fuentes v. Loretta E. Lynch
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Salvador Castro-Fuentes, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions pro se for *654 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. 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 Castro-Fuentes’ motion to reopen because it was untimely and Castro-Fuentes did not establish materially changed circumstances in El Salvador affecting his eligibility for relief as to overcome the time limitation for motions to reopen. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(83)(ii); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 987-90 (evidence must be “qualitatively different” to warrant reopening). We reject Castro-Fuentes’ contention that the BIA ignored evidence. See Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 990-91 (the BIA adequately considered the evidence and sufficiently announced its decision).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
