   MEMORANDUM

Susambar Navasardyan and his family, natives of Iran or Armenia, and citizens of Armenia, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) orders denying their motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir.2008), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Navasardyan’s motion to reopen as untimely because the motion was filed almost three years after the BIA’s final decision, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Navasardyan failed to present material evidence of changed circumstances in Armenia to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limitation for filing motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also Almaraz v. Holder, 608 F.3d 638, 640-41 (9th Cir.2010).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
