MEMORANDUM **

Mayis Asatryan, a native of Iran and citizen of Armenia, 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 denial of a motion to reopen, Toufighi v. Mukasey, 588 F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir.2008), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Asatryan’s motion to reopen because it was untimely, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Asatryan failed to present sufficient evidence of changed circumstances in Armenia to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limit for filing motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also Toufighi, 538 F.3d at 996-97 (evidence of changed circumstances insufficient in light of underlying adverse credibility determination).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
