Tablada v. Gonzales
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Claudette Sharon Tablada, a native and citizen of Belize, petitions for review of an
The IJ did not abuse his discretion in denying Tablada’s motion to reopen. Tablada’s claim that she did not receive oral warnings regarding the consequences of failing to attend her removal hearing is unavailing. The record demonstrates that the former Immigration and Naturalization Service personally served Tablada with the Notice to Appear required under 8 U.S.C. § 1229(a)(1), which contained Tablada’s signed acknowledgment she received oral notice of the consequences of failing to appear. Because the evidence shows that Tablada received these oral warnings, and because Tablada did not argue or demonstrate that exceptional circumstances prevented her from attending the hearing, the statutory ten-year bar to adjustment of status applies. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(b)(7).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
