FILED APR 23 2012 NOT FOR PUBLICATION MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT ATTO GAMPU; CHARLOTTE IRENE TUUK, No. 09-71779 Agency Nos. Petitioners, A095-310-917 A095-310-918 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted April 17, 2012 ** Before: LEAVY, PAEZ, and BEA, Circuit Judges. Atto Gampu and Charlotte Irene Tuuk, natives and citizens of Indonesia, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals ( BIA ) order denying their motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). § 1252. We review for an abuse of discretion the BIA s denial of a motion to reopen. Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review. The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners motion to reopen as untimely where the motion was filed over four years after the BIA s final order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and petitioners failed to present sufficient evidence of changed circumstances in Indonesia to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limit for filing motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 987-89 (9th Cir. 2010) (the new evidence must be qualitatively different from the evidence at the previous hearing). In light of our conclusion, we decline to address petitioners contention that they are members of a disfavored group. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 09-71779
