MEMORANDUM **

Zuheir Y. Alkour, a native and citizen of Syria, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings conducted in absentia. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for abuse of discretion, Perez v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 770, 773 (9th Cir. 2008), we deny the petition for review.

*649 The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Alkour’s motion to reopen because the evidence he submitted was insufficient to establish “exceptional circumstances.” See Celis-Castellano v. Ashcroft, 298 F.3d 888, 891-92 (9th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, Alkour’s due process claim fails. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error for a petitioner to prevail on a due process claim).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
