The agency did not abuse its discretion by denying Singh’s motion to reopen where it was filed thirteen years after his final order of removal, see 8 C.F.R. § 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, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(4)(i); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 990 (evidence must be “qualitatively different” to warrant reopening). PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 16-72321
