               Respondent.

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

                             Submitted December 15, 2009 **

Before:        GOODWIN, WALLACE, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.

reopen deportation proceedings held in absentia. We have jurisdiction under 8

U.S.C. § 1252. We review the denial of a motion to reopen for abuse of discretion.

Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002). We deny in part and

dismiss in part the petition for review.

       The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Rodriguez De Orellana’s

motion to reopen because she failed to establish reasonable cause for her absence.

See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b) (repealed 1992).

       We lack jurisdiction to review Rodriguez De Orellana’s contention that she

was denied due process because she did not receive a Spanish version of the notice

of hearing because she did not exhaust this contention before the BIA. See Barron

v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004).

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
