GARFIELD GREENWOOD, Petitioner, v. LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General, Respondent.

NOT FOR PUBLICATION

Agency No. A076-186-391 MEMORANDUM On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Before: SCHROEDER, CANBY, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

Garfield Greenwood, a native and citizen of Jamaica, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying his 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, 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 Greenwood's motion to reopen as untimely where he filed it three years after the BIA's final decision, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and he failed to demonstrate changed country conditions in Jamaica to qualify for an exception to the time limitation for motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 987-990 (evidence must be "qualitatively different" to warrant reopening).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
