BARRIOS,

Petitioner,
v. MEMORANDUM*
JEFFERSON B. SESSIONS III, Attorney

Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted May 24, 2017**
Before: THOMAS, Chief Judge, and SILVERMAN and RAWLINSON,
Circuit Judges.
Victorio Delfino Barrios Barrios, a native and citizen of Guatemala,
petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order
dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s order denying his motion to
reopen deportation proceedings conducted in absentia. Our jurisdiction is

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a
motion to reopen. Sembiring v. Gonzales, 499 F.3d 981, 985 (9th Cir. 2007). We
deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Barrios Barrios’ motion to
reopen based on lack of notice where the record establishes that he was personally
served with an Order to Show Cause (“OSC”) and Notice of Hearing, written in
both English and Spanish. There was no statutory requirement that the OSC be
orally translated. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252b(a)(2)-(3) (1996); Khan v. Ashcroft, 374
F.3d 825, 828 (9th Cir. 2004) (notice proper where INS adhered to statutorily
imposed procedural requirements).
We lack jurisdiction to consider Barrios Barrios’ unexhausted contentions
regarding irregularities in the OSC’s Certificate of Translation and Oral Notice.
See Tijani v. Holder, 628 F.3d 1071, 1080 (9th Cir. 2010) (the court lacks
jurisdiction to consider contentions not presented in an alien’s administrative
proceedings before the agency).
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Barrios Barrios’ motion to
reopen to apply for asylum and related relief, where he filed it more than 17 years
after the applicable deadline, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(1), and he did not

demonstrate changed country conditions to qualify for the regulatory exception to
the deadline for filing motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(4)(i).
In light of this disposition, we do not reach Barrios Barrios’ remaining
contentions regarding membership in a particular social group or eligibility for
relief.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
