This is a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying petitioner’s motion to reopen removal proceedings.
We review the BIA’s ruling on a motion to reopen for abuse of discretion. Perez v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 770, 773 (9th Cir.2008).
An alien who is subject to a final order of removal is limited to filing one motion to reopen removal proceedings, and that motion must be filed within 90 days of the date of entry of a final order of removal. 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(A), (C)(i); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (c)(2).

A review of the administrative record demonstrates that there is substantial evidence to support the BIA’s decision that petitioner failed to demonstrate that the exception to the time limitation applied. See Malty v. Ashcroft, 381 F.3d 942, 945 (9th Cir.2004) (evidence of changed circumstances must establish prima facie case for asylum).…
