Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Ana Cristina Dubon-AIfaro, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision denying her motion to reopen removal proceedings conducted in absentia. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, including claims of due process violations, Vasquez-Zavala v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 1105, 1107 (9th Cir.2003), and review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Perez v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 770, 773 (9th Cir.2008). We deny the petition for review.
The agency acted within its discretion in denying Dubon-Alfaro's motion to reopen to rescind her removal order because the IJ properly ordered her removed in absen-tia when she failed to appear at her immigration hearing. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(b)(5)(A), (C)(ii); Garcia v. INS, 222 F.3d 1208, 1209 (9th Cir.2000). Du-bon-Alfaro does not dispute that the Notice to Appear was personally served on her, indicating the time and place of her proceedings and the consequences of failure to appear at such proceedings. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229(a). Dubon-Alfaro's contention that the BIA violated due process by not providing her with a transcript of proceedings fails because she did not demonstrate prejudice. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir.2000) (requiring prejudice for a petitioner to prevail on a due process claim).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
