MEMORANDUM **

Jose Antonio Perez Higuera and Edelmira Orozco Ochoa, natives and citizens of *688 Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying their motion to reopen, after an in absentia determination of removal. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002), and we deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioners’ motion to reopen on the grounds that their mistaken understanding that their hearing was on a different date did not constitute exceptional circumstances within the meaning of 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(e)(l), and denial of the motion did not lead to an unconscionable result. See Valencia-Fragoso v. INS, 321 F.3d 1204, 1205-06 (9th Cir. 2003) (per curiam).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
