MEMORANDUM

Anawarul Hassan, a native and citizen of Bangladesh, petitions for review of two decisions of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). The first dismissed his appeal of an Immigration Judge’s denial of Hassan’s first untimely motion to reopen. The second denied Hassan’s second untimely motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction over his petitions under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (a)(1). The denial of a motion to reopen is reviewed for abuse of discretion. Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir.2002).

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Hassan’s motions to reopen where the motions were filed more than twelve years after the order of removal and Has-san has failed to demonstrate changed country conditions in Bangladesh. 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7); see also 8 C.F.R. §§ 1003.2 ,1003.23.

To the extent Hassan argues that there were changed country conditions because his marriage to Shira Hussain renders him a member of a particular social group, he did not exhaust this claim before the BIA and we have no jurisdiction to review it. 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (d)(1).
