United States Ninth Circuit

The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) did not err in denying petitioner's untimely motion to reopen for protection under the Convention Against Torture, where: 1) the specific time and number limitations on motions to reopen, set forth at 8 C.F.R. section 1003.2(c), apply to motions that arise under the Convention Against Torture; and 2) the BIA did not abuse its discretion in concluding that petitioner failed to show that the changed circumstances exception to the bar on untimely motions to reopen applied to this case.
