Submitted January 11, 2010 **

under the Convention Against Torture. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Malty
v. Ashcroft, 381 F.3d 942, 945 (9th Cir. 2004), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Muyingo’s second motion to
reopen because he failed to demonstrate changed circumstances in Uganda to
qualify for the regulatory exception to the time and numerical limitations on
motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also Malty, 381 F.3d at 945
(9th Cir. 2004) (critical question is whether circumstances have changed
sufficiently that a petitioner who previously did not have a legitimate claim now
does).
We reject Muyingo’s contention that the BIA abused its discretion by failing
to consider the evidence submitted with the motion to reopen. See Fernandez v.
Gonzales, 439 F.3d 592, 603 (9th Cir. 2006).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
