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. Sharma v. INS, 89 F.3d
545, 547 (9th Cir. 1996). We deny the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Torrez-Valenzuela’s
motion to reopen because her reliance upon an outdated bus schedule does not
constitute exceptional circumstances within the meaning of 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(e)(1).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
