MEMORANDUM **

Valeriya Georgieva Nedeva-Alaniz, a native and citizen of Bulgaria, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her motion to reopen 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, 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 Nedeva-Alaniz’s motion to reopen on grounds that she failed to establish exceptional circumstances within the meaning of 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(e)(1). See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1229(a)(1)(F), 1229a(b)(5)(B); Valencia-Fragoso v. INS, 321 F.3d 1204, 1205-06 (9th Cir. 2003) (per curiam).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
