denial of a motion to reopen. Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir.
2010). We deny the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion by denying Singh’s motion to reopen

§ 1003.23(b)(1), and where Singh failed to establish materially changed
circumstances in India to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limitation,

“qualitatively different” to warrant reopening).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
