   MEMORANDUM

Saranjit Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen. Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir.2010). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Singh’s second motion to reopen as untimely and number-barred because the motion was filed more than six years after the BIA’s final order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Singh failed to demonstrate materially changed conditions in India to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time and numerical limit for filing motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(e)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 987 (evidence must be “qualitatively different” from the evidence presented at the previous hearing); see also Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 995-97 (9th Cir.2008) (requiring movant to establish prima facie eligibility for relief and discussing consequences of lack of credibility).

We reject Singh’s contention that the BIA failed to adequately consider the evidence presented with the motion to reopen. See Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 990-91.

Finally, we decline to consider any challenge Singh makes to the agency’s underlying credibility determination because this court already decided the issue in Singh v. Gonzales, 192 Fed.Appx. 635 (9th Cir.2006).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
