Felincia Phang v. Jefferson Sessions
Felincia Phang v. Jefferson Sessions
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Karine Movsesyan, a native and citizen of Armenia, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her 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. Najmabadi v. Holder, *509 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Movsesyan’s motion to reopen as untimely where the motion was filed more than four years after the BIA’s final order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Movsesyan failed to establish a material change in circumstances in Armenia to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limitation for filing a motion to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 990 (evidence must be material); Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 996-97 (9th Cir. 2008) (evidence immaterial in light of prior adverse credibility determination). We reject Movsesyan’s contentions that the BIA failed to consider arguments.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
