Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Petar Donchev Bakalov, a native and citizen of Bulgaria, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying his fourth 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 in denying Bakalov's fourth motion to reopen where it was filed nine years after his order of removal became final, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Bakalov failed to establish he qualified for an exception to the time and number limitations for filing a mqtion to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(h); Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 996 (9th Cir. 2008). We reject Bakalov's contention that the BIA did not consider and assess the relevant evidence. See Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 990 (BIA adequately considered the evidence and sufficiently announced its decision).
We deny Bakalov's request for fees and decline to consider Bakalov's due process claim. See Bazuaye v. INS, 79 F.3d 118, 120 (9th Cir. 1996) ("Issues raised for the first time in the reply brief are waived.").
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
