ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,

               Respondent.



                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted August 23, 2010 **

Before:        LEAVY, HAWKINS, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.

       Herman Surjadi, a native and citizen of Indonesia, 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, Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), and we

deny the petition for review.

      The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Surjadi’s motion to reopen

as untimely where it was filed over five years after the BIA’s final order, see 8

C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Surjadi failed to establish changed circumstances in

Indonesia to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limitation, see 8

C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 996 (9th Cir.

2008) (evidence must demonstrate prima facie eligibility for relief in order to

reopen proceedings based on changed country conditions).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
