               Respondent.

                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                              Submitted July 12, 2011 **

Before:        SCHROEDER, ALARCÓN, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.

       Junning Shi, a native and citizen of China, petitions pro se for review of the

Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen. 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). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

         To the extent Shi seeks to challenge the BIA’s 2003 order affirming the

immigration judge’s decision denying Shi’s application for asylum, withholding of

removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture, we lack jurisdiction

because Shi’s petition for review is untimely as to that decision. See 8 U.S.C.

§ 1252(b)(1); Membreno v. Gonzales, 425 F.3d 1227, 1229 (9th Cir. 2005) (en

banc).

         The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Shi’s motion to reopen,

because it was untimely, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Shi failed to present

sufficient evidence of changed circumstances in order to qualify for the regulatory

exception to the time limit for filing motions to reopen, 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii);

see also Toufighi, 538 F.3d at 996-97 (requiring movant to produce material

evidence with motion to reopen that conditions in country of nationality had

changed).

         PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
