Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002). We deny in part and
dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Rodriguez De Orellana’s
motion to reopen because she failed to establish reasonable cause for her absence.
See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b) (repealed 1992).
We lack jurisdiction to review Rodriguez De Orellana’s contention that she
was denied due process because she did not receive a Spanish version of the notice
of hearing because she did not exhaust this contention before the BIA. See Barron
v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
