v. MEMORANDUM*
ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted August 13, 2014**
Before: SCHROEDER, THOMAS, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.
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
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
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.
