MEMORANDUM

Maricela Torrez-Valenzuela, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her motion to reopen removal proceedings conducted in absentia. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Sharma v. INS, 89 F.3d 545, 547 (9th Cir.1996). We deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Torrez-Valenzuela’s motion to reopen because her reliance upon an outdated bus schedule does not constitute exceptional circumstances within the meaning of 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(e)(l).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
