MEMORANDUM **

Andranik Khanjaryan, a native of the former U.S.S.R. and a citizen of Armenia, 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. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir. 2005), and we deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion by denying Khanjaryan’s motion to reopen where Khanjaryan did not offer any grounds for rescission of his in absentia order of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(b)(5)(C); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(4)(ii).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
