to reopen, Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010), and we deny
the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Lopez Ramos’s motion to
reopen because it was time and number-barred, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and
Lopez Ramos failed to establish materially changed circumstances in Guatemala to
qualify for the regulatory exception to the time and number limitations for filing a
motion to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 987-90
(evidence must be “qualitatively different” to warrant reopening).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
