DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT CATHERINE KANDOU, No. 12-71173 Petitioner, Agency No. A079-537-503 v. MEMORANDUM* ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted April 7, 2014** Before: TASHIMA, GRABER, and IKUTA, Circuit Judges. Catherine Kandou, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen. Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review. The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Kandou’s untimely motion to reopen because she did not establish changed circumstances in Indonesia to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limit. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 988-89 (petitioner’s evidence was not “qualitatively different” because it described conditions similar to those in evidence at her prior proceedings). In light of this conclusion, we do not reach Kandou’s arguments regarding prima facie eligibility for relief. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 12-71173
