                           Board of Immigration Appeals

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

Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.

§ 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, He v.

Gonzales, 501 F.3d 1128, 1130-31 (9th Cir. 2007), and we deny the petition for

review.

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

reopen as untimely because Petitioners filed it more than ninety days after the final

order of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(i). The exception to the time

limit based on changed country conditions does not apply because Petitioners did

not present material evidence of changed country conditions that was not available

and could not have been presented at the previous proceeding. See 8 C.F.R.

§ 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); He, 501 F.3d at 1132-33. Moreover, Petitioners failed to

include the appropriate application along with their request to apply for CAT relief.

See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1).

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
