PER CURIAM.

Mexican citizen Alvaro Lozano-Vega petitions for review of an order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying his untimely request to reopen his case

based on changed country conditions–an order that we review under a highly

deferential abuse-of-discretion standard. See Martinez v. Lynch, 785 F.3d 1262,

1264-65 (8th Cir. 2015); Averianova v. Holder, 592 F.3d 932, 936 (8th Cir. 2010). 

Appellate Case: 15-1498 Page: 1 Date Filed: 04/11/2016 Entry ID: 4387040 
The BIA carefully considered Lozano-Vega’s supporting evidence, but was not

persuaded that the evidence, some of which was previously available, showed

changed country conditions that would affect Lozano-Vega’s previously expressed

fear of returning to Mexico. See Averianova, 592 F.3d at 936-37. We cannot

conclude that the BIA’s decision was an abuse of discretion, see Zhong Qin Zheng

v. Mukasey, 523 F.3d 893, 895-96 (8th Cir. 2008); and having considered the other

arguments in the supporting brief, we conclude that none of them provides a basis to

grant the petition before us.

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review.
