Selvin Florian v. Loretta E. Lynch
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Selvin Florian, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir. 2007). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Florian’s untimely motion to reopen because Florian failed to establish materially changed circumstances in Guatemala to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limitation, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also Toufighi, 538 F.3d at 996 (requiring movant to produce material evidence with motion to reopen that conditions in country of nationality had changed).
We lack jurisdiction to review Florian’s challenge to the agency’s denial of his underlying claims for relief because this peti *371 tion is not timely as to that order. See Stone v. INS, 514 U.S. 386, 405, 115 S.Ct. 1537, 131 L.Ed.2d 465 (1995) (the deadline for filing a petition for review from a final order of removal is “mandatory and jurisdictional”); Toufighi, 538 F.3d at 995 (the court lacked jurisdiction to review underlying order of removal, where alien did not seek timely review of that order, and instead filed petition for review from the denial of a subsequent motion to reopen).
Finally, we deny Florian’s opposed motion to remand and deny as moot Florian’s motion to suspend the briefing schedule and stay proceedings pending the resolution of his motion to remand.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
This disposition is -not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
