Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Surjeet Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir.2008), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh's second motion to reopen as untimely and number-barred, where the motion was filed over six years after the BIA's final order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Singh failed to present sufficient evidence of changed circumstances in India to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time and number limits for filing motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Toufighi, 538 F.3d at 996-97 (evidence was immaterial in light of prior adverse credibility determination); Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 990 (9th Cir.2010) (evidence of "generalized conditions" in Iran failed to demonstrate that petitioner's situation was "appreciably different from the dangers faced by her fellow citizens"). Further, we reject Singh's contention that his motion to reopen proceedings to consider his CAT claim is not subject to time limitations. See Chen v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1028, 1033 (9th Cir.2008).
Finally, we do not address any arguments Singh makes related to adjustment of status because the agency did not address this issue. See Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 986 (this court's review is limited to grounds relied upon by the BIA).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
