Before WOLLMAN, RILEY, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Abubakarr Fofanah petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (BIA) denying his April 2008 motion to reopen. After careful review, we
conclude the BIA did not abuse its discretion in finding that Fofanah did not show
materially changed country conditions warranting reopening. See 8 U.S.C.
ยง 1229a(c)(7)(C)(i), (ii) (motion to reopen); Habchy v. Filip, 
552 F.3d 911
, 912-13
(8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). Accordingly, we deny the petition.


      1
       Eric H. Holder, Jr., has been appointed to serve as Attorney General of the
United States, and is substituted as respondent pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate
Procedure 43(c).
