Petitioner, Agency No. A098-854-646
v.
MEMORANDUM *
ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted February 21, 2012 **
Before: FERNANDEZ, McKEOWN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
William Lopez-Romero, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions pro se
for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision denying his motion to
reopen removal proceedings.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Lopez-Romrero’s motion to
reopen because it was untimely, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2). Lopez-Romero
failed to demonstrate changed country conditions to qualify for the regulatory
exception to the time limit, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii). Finally, Lopez-Romero
did not show prima facie eligibility for the relief sought, see Ochave v. INS, 254
F.3d 859, 865 (9th Cir. 2001) (asylum is not available to victims of violence unless
they are singled out on account of a protected ground).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
