Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Changguo Yu, a native and citizen of China, 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, Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir.2010), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying as untimely Yu's second motion to reopen because the motion was filed nine years after his final order of removal, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c) (3) (i), 1003.23(b)(4)(iii)(A) (an alien has 180 days to file a motion to reopen to rescind an in absentia order if the alien can show that she failed to appear for the hearing due to exceptional circumstances), and Yu failed to demonstrate the due diligence necessary for equitable tolling, see Avagyan v. Holder, 646 F.3d 672, 679 (9th Cir.2011), or establish materially changed country conditions so as to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limitations for motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 987 (new evidence "must be 'qualitatively different' from the evidence presented at the previous hearing").
In light of this disposition, we need not reach Yu's remaining contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
