               Respondent.

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

                             Submitted October 15, 2013**

Before:        FISHER, GOULD, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

       Charan Singh Chahal, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of

the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen.

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision

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 Chahal’s motion to reopen

as untimely and number-barred because the successive motion was filed over six

years after the BIA’s final decision, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Chahal failed

to demonstrate changed circumstances in India to qualify for the regulatory

exception to the time and number limitations, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii);

Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 988-89.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
