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,
Hamazaspyan v. Holder, 590 F.3d 744, 747 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny the
petition for review.
The agency was within its discretion in denying Calderon-Hernandez’s
motion to reopen for failure to establish that “exceptional circumstances” caused
her absence from her scheduled hearing. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(e)(1); Celis-
Castellano v. Ashcroft, 298 F.3d 888, 892 (9th Cir. 2002).
Calderon-Hernandez’s remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
