ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted June 26, 2012 **
Before: SCHROEDER, HAWKINS, and GOULD, Circuit Judges.
Shu Xiong Dong, a native and citizen of China, petitions pro se for review of
the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen.
Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of

discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen. Lin v. Holder, 588 F.3d 981,
984 (9th Cir. 2009). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Dong’s motion to reopen as
untimely because it was filed more than 90 days after the entry of the agency’s
final administrative order and Dong failed to show changed circumstances in China
in order to qualify for the regulatory exception to the filing deadline. See 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(c)(2), (c)(3)(ii); Lin, 588 F.3d at 988-89 (record did not show material
change in enforcement of family planning laws sufficient to establish changed
country conditions and excuse an untimely motion to reopen); He v. Gonzales, 501
F.3d 1128, 1132 (9th Cir. 2007) (a change in personal circumstances does not
establish changed country conditions).
We decline to address Dong’s contention that he suffered past persecution in
China because it was not addressed by the BIA and Dong does not argue that the
BIA erred. See Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010) (review is
limited to actual grounds relied upon by the BIA).
We lack jurisdiction to review Dong’s claims regarding humanitarian relief
and extreme hardship because he failed to exhaust these claims before the BIA.
See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
