MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

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. 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 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.
