    FOR RESPONDENT:        Erik   C.  Peterson,    United States
    Attorney;   Richard    D.   Humphrey,
    Assistant  United   States  Attorney,
    Western   District    of   Wisconsin,
    Madison, Wisconsin.
    UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a
    Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby
    ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED, that the petition for review
    is DENIED.
    Petitioner Zu Man Li, a native and citizen of the
    People’s Republic of China, seeks review of a February 27,
    2006 order of the BIA denying his motion to reopen. In re Zu
    Man Li, No. A076 505 678 (B.I.A. Feb. 27, 2006). We assume
    the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and
    procedural history in this case.
    We review the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen for
    abuse of discretion. Ali v. Gonzales, 
    448 F.3d 515
    , 517 (2d
    Cir. 2006).    When the BIA considers relevant evidence of
    country conditions in evaluating a motion to reopen, we review
    the BIA’s factual findings under the substantial evidence
    standard. See Jian Hui Shao v. Mukasey, 
    546 F.3d 138
    , 169 (2d
    Cir. 2008).
    The BIA did not err in denying Li’s untimely and number-
    barred motion to reopen. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C); see
    also 
    8 C.F.R. § 1003.2
    (c)(2).     Indeed, we have previously
    reviewed the BIA’s consideration of evidence similar to that
    which Li submitted and have found no error in its conclusion
    that such evidence is insufficient to establish either
    material changed country conditions excusing the applicable
    time and numerical limitations or a reasonable possibility of
    persecution. See Jian Hui Shao, 
    546 F.3d at 169-72
     (noting
    that “[w]e do not ourselves attempt to resolve conflicts in
    record evidence, a task largely within the discretion of the
    agency”); see also Wei Guang Wang v. BIA, 
    437 F.3d 270
    , 275
    (2d Cir. 2006) (noting that while the BIA must consider
    evidence such as “the oft-cited Aird affidavit, which [it] is
    asked to consider time and again[,] . . . it may do so in
    summary fashion without a reviewing court presuming that it
    has abused its discretion”).
    0 9 1 4 0 9 -2               -2-
    Additionally, contrary to Li’s argument, he is not
    eligible to file a successive asylum application based on his
    changed personal circumstances. See Yuen Jin v. Mukasey, 
    538 F.3d 143
    , 156, 158-59 (2d Cir. 2008).
    For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is
    DENIED. As we have completed our review, any stay of removal
    that the Court previously granted in this petition is VACATED,
    and any pending motion for a stay of removal in this petition
    is DISMISSED as moot. Any pending request for oral argument in
    this petition is DENIED in accordance with Federal Rule of
    Appellate Procedure 34(a)(2), and Second Circuit Local Rule
    34(b).
    FOR THE COURT:
