               Respondent.

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

Before:        FERNANDEZ, GOULD, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

        Wibowo Muliawan Karfendi and Juniar Tuti Simbolon, natives and citizens

of Indonesia, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”)

order denying their 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, Malty v. Ashcroft, 381 F.3d 942, 945 (9th Cir. 2004). We deny the petition

for review.

       The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to

reopen as untimely where petitioners filed the motion more than three years after

the BIA’s final order of removal, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (motion to reopen

must be filed within ninety days of final order of removal), and failed to submit

new and material evidence of changed country conditions in Indonesia that would

excuse the late filing, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); see also Malty, 381 F.3d at

945 (requiring circumstances to have changed sufficiently that a petitioner who

previously did not have a legitimate claim for asylum now has a well-founded fear

of future persecution).

       To the extent petitioners contend that the BIA failed to consider some or all

of the evidence they submitted, they have not overcome the presumption that the

BIA did review the record. See Larita-Martinez v. INS, 220 F.3d 1092, 1095 (9th

Cir. 2000).

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
