                                                  MEMORANDUM *
ERIC H. HOLDER Jr., Attorney General,

               Respondent.

                       On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                           Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted February 15, 2011 **

Before:        CANBY, FERNANDEZ, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

       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

          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
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motion to reopen because her reliance upon an outdated bus schedule does not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)(1).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
