SUMMARY ORDER
Petitioner Xiu Yun Lin, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of China, seeks review of an October 5, 2007 order of the BIA denying her second motion to reopen. In re Xiu Yun Lin, No. A073 560 019 (B.I.A. Oct. 5, 2007). 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 Lin’s untimely motion to reopen See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C); see also 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2). Lin argues that the BIA erred by finding that she failed to produce evidence demonstrating either material changed country conditions sufficient to excuse the untimely filing of her motion to reopen or her prima facie eligibility for relief. However, these arguments fail because we have previously reviewed the BIA’s consideration of evidence similar to that which Lin submitted and have found no error in its conclusion that such evidence is insufficient to establish either material changed country conditions 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”). Moreover, despite Lin’s argument regarding a document discussing the forced abortion of a Hong Kong native in Hunan Province, the agency reasonably found that her evidence failed to describe the persecution of similarly situated individuals. See Jian Hui Shao, 546 F.3d at 160-61, 169-70.
