MEMORANDUM*
WILLIAM P. BARR, Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted July 15, 2019**
Before: SCHROEDER, SILVERMAN, and CLIFTON, Circuit Judges.
Dagoberto Hernandez Baez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his fourth
motion to reopen removal proceedings. 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.

dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Hernandez Baez’s motion to
reopen as untimely, where it was filed over 12 years after the order of removal
became final, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Hernandez Baez has not established
changed country conditions in Mexico to qualify for the regulatory exception to the
filing deadline, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d
983, 987-90 (9th Cir. 2010) (evidence must be “qualitatively different” to warrant
reopening); Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 996 (9th Cir. 2008) (requiring
movant to produce material evidence with motion to reopen that conditions in
country of nationality had changed).
We reject as unsupported by the record Hernandez Baez’s contention that
the BIA abused its discretion by failing to consider all of the evidence Hernandez
Baez submitted. See Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 990 (agency need not write an
exegesis on every contention); Fernandez v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 592, 603 (9th Cir.
2006) (petitioner did not overcome the presumption that the BIA reviewed the
record).
Finally, we lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s determination not to reopen
proceedings sua sponte. See Bonilla v. Lynch, 840 F.3d 575, 588 (9th Cir. 2016)
(“[T]his court has jurisdiction to review Board decisions denying sua sponte
reopening for the limited purpose of reviewing the reasoning behind the decisions
2 18-72008
for legal or constitutional error.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
