MEMORANDUM **

Jagdev Ram, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of *686 Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying Ram’s motion to reopen removal proceedings.

Ashcroft, 381 F.3d 942, 945 (9th Cir.2004) (“The critical question is ... whether circumstances have changed sufficiently that a petitioner who previously did not have a legitimate claim for asylum now has a well-founded fear of future persecution.”).
