Cheryl Brigitte Zambarrano-Rut v. Loretta E. Lynch
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Cheryl Brigitte Zambarrano-Rutledge, a native and citizen of the Philippines, seeks review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to reopen (petition No. 13-71280), and of the BIA order denying her motion to reconsider (petition No. 13-72327). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen or to reconsider. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petitions for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Zambarrano-Rutledge’s motion to reopen as untimely because the motion was filed over four years after the BIA’s final decision, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and the BIA reasonably determined she failed to establish changed circumstances in the Philippines to qualify for an exception to the time limitations for a motion to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010).
Zambarrano-Rutledge does not challenge the BIA’s denial of her motion to reconsider. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996).
PETITIONS FOR REVIEW DENIED.
