Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Camillus Ehigie, a native and citizen of Nigeria, petitions for review of two Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") orders denying as untimely and number-barred his third and fourth motions to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing the BIA's orders for an abuse of discretion, see Oyeniran v. Holder, 672 F.3d 800, 806 (9th Cir.2012), we deny both petitions for review.
The crux of Ehigie's argument, in both No. 09-73753 and No. 11-72039, is that removal proceedings should be reopened to allow him to apply for asylum, withholding, and relief under the Convention Against Torture in light of what he alleges are recently changed conditions in Nigeria that make him, as a Christian, subject to religious persecution. The BIA twice rejected this argument on the theory that conditions in Nigeria have remained largely the same since 2003.
Because substantial evidence supports the BIA's finding to that effect, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in either order. Neither Ehigie's third motion to reopen, nor his fourth, presents sufficient evidence of changed conditions in Nigeria to qualify him for the regulatory exception to the time and number limitations for filing such motions. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii).
PETITIONS FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
. Because substantial evidence supports the BIA's finding in both No. 09-73753 and No. 11-72039 that Ehigie did not introduce previously unavailable, material evidence of changed conditions in Nigeria, we need not reach any other issue. See id. § 1003.2(a).
