On Petition for Review of an Order of the

Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.

F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying De Los Angeles-Moreno’s
motion to reopen as untimely because it was filed nearly two years after the BIA’s
final decision, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and De Los Angeles-Moreno failed to
demonstrate changed circumstances in El Salvador to qualify for the regulatory
exception to the time limitation, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597
F.3d at 988-89 (evidence submitted with motion to reopen must show conditions
are qualitatively different than at time of hearing); see also Almaraz v. Holder, 608
F.3d 638, 640 (9th Cir. 2010) (change in petitioner’s health was a change in
personal circumstances, not a change in country conditions sufficient to excuse an
untimely motion to reopen).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
