Opinion:
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 Mar tinez v. Lynch, 785 F.3d 1262, 1264-65 (8th Cir.2015); Averianova v. Holder, 592 F.3d 931, 936 (8th Cir.2010). 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.
