Saleh

MEMORANDUM **

Youssef Salman Saleh, a native and citizen of Lebanon, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . Reviewing for abuse of discretion, Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 *709 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir.2010), we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Saleh’s motion to reopen because he failed to demonstrate changed circumstances in Lebanon to satisfy the requirements of 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (c)(3)(ii). See id. at 990 ; see also Malty v. 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.”). Saleh’s contention that the BIA violated due process by denying his motion to reopen without evaluating all the evidence is unavailing. See Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 990-91 .

We lack jurisdiction to consider whether the BIA should have invoked its sua sponte authority to reopen proceedings. See Ekimian v. INS, 303…
