Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Arturo De Jesus Aguirre-Flores, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions pro se for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s denial of Aguirre-Flores’ motion to reopen deportation 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. Urbina-Osejo v. INS, 124 F.3d 1314, 1316 (9th Cir.1997). We deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion by denying Aguirre-Flores’ motion to reopen because he did not demonstrate reasonable cause for failing to attend his 1990 deportation hearing. See id. (motion to reopen in absentia deportation hearing could be granted only if alien demonstrated reasonable cause for missing the hearing).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
