   MEMORANDUM

Manpreet Kaur, a native and citizen of India, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying as untimely her motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion, see Movsisian v. Ashcroft, 395 F.3d 1095, 1098 (9th Cir.2005), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA acted within its discretion in denying Kaur’s motion to reopen as untimely because Kaur filed her motion more than a year and a half after the BIA’s decision, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (motion to reopen must be filed within ninety days of BIA’s decision), and failed to demonstrate changed circumstances in India to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limitation, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii).

We do not consider Kaur’s challenge to the agency’s adverse credibility determination, made in the context of her underlying asylum claim. See Kaur v. Ashcroft, 89 Fed.Appx. 84 (upholding agency’s denial of Kaur’s application for asylum).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
