SUMMARY ORDER
Petitioner Moustapha Magassouba, a native and citizen of Guinea, seeks review of a February 4, 2019, decision of the BIA reissuing its August 2018 denial of his motions to reopen and reconsider, and again denying reconsideration. In re Moustapha Magassouba, No. A XXX XX0 196 (B.I.A. Feb. 4, 2019). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history in this case.
The petition for review is timely only as to the BIAs denial of reopening and reconsideration, and we do not reach Magassoubas challenges to the underlying removal order and denial of relief. See Ke Zhen Zhao v. U.S. Dept of Justice, 265 F.3d 83, 89–90 (2d Cir. 2001). We review the BIAs denial of a motion to reopen or reconsider for abuse of discretion and review factual findings regarding country conditions for substantial evidence. See Jian Hui Shao v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138, 168-69 (2d Cir. 2008) (motion to reopen and country conditions findings); Jin Ming Liu v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 109, 111 (2d Cir. 2006) (motion to reconsider).
Reopening
We find no abuse of discretion. A motion to reopen must be filed within 90 days of the final removal order and must be based on new evidence that was not previously available. 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c). Magassoubas 2018 motion was untimely because his removal order was final in 2011. Although the time limitation for filing a motion to reopen does not apply if reopening is sought to apply for asylum and the motion “is based on changed country conditions arising in the country of nationality or the country to which removal has been ordered, if such evidence is material and was not available and would not have been discovered or presented at the previous proceeding,” 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(ii); see also 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii), Magassouba failed to establish any material change in Guinea because he did not submit any evidence of conditions in Guinea either at the time of his motion or at the time of his underlying removal proceedings. See In re S-Y-G-, 24 I. & N. Dec. 247, 253 (B.I.A. 2007) (“In determining whether evidence accompanying a motion to reopen demonstrates a material change in country conditions that would justify reopening, [the agency] compare[s] the evidence of country conditions submitted with the motion to those that existed at the time of the merits hearing below.”). Absent an exception to the time limitation, the only basis for reopening was an exercise of the BIAs authority to reopen sua sponte, which is an “entirely discretionary” determination that we lack jurisdiction to review. Ali v. Gonzales, 448 F.3d 515, 518 (2d Cir. 2006).
Reconsideration
The BIA also did not abuse its discretion in denying reconsideration. A motion to reconsider “must be filed within 30 days of the date of entry of a final administrative order of removal.” 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(6)(B); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2). Motions to reconsider must “specify[ ] the errors of fact or law in the prior Board decision.” 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1).
Similar to his request to reopen, Magassoubas 2018 motion to reconsider was untimely because his removal order was final in 2011. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(6)(B); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(2). To the extent Magassoubas motion to reissue also requested reconsideration of the denial of reopening, his arguments did not relate to the BIAs determination that his motion to reopen was untimely and he did not identify any grounds to excuse that prior untimely filing. He merely reiterated previous arguments that the BIA had rejected in the context of reopening, and therefore he did not identify an error of law or fact as is required for reconsideration. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(6)(B); Jin Ming Liu, 439 F.3d at 111 (“The BIA does not abuse its discretion by denying a motion to reconsider where the motion repeats arguments that the BIA has previously rejected.”).
For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is DENIED. All pending motions and applications are DENIED and stays VACATED.
