Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted December 19, 2012**
Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision

proceedings conducted in absentia. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the agency’s denial of a motion to
reopen. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny in
part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Martinez Del Cid’s
motion to reopen, where service of notice was proper and she failed to show that
she did not receive her Notice of Hearing. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229(a)(2)(A), (c);
Popa v. Holder, 571 F.3d 890, 897-98 (9th Cir. 2009) (the government satisfies
notice requirements by mailing notice of the hearing to an alien at the address last
provided to the INS); Salta v. INS, 314 F.3d 1076, 1079 (9th Cir. 2002) (an
applicant’s sworn affidavit that neither she nor a responsible party residing at her
address received the notice should ordinarily be sufficient to rebut the presumption
of delivery when the notice of hearing is sent by regular mail).
We reject Martinez Del Cid’s contention that the agency abused its
discretion by failing to consider her equities and the totality of circumstances.
We lack jurisdiction to review Martinez Del Cid’s contention that there was
no proof of delivery for the hearing notice because she failed to raise that issue
before the BIA and thereby failed to exhaust her administrative remedies. See
2 11-70168
Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004) (this court lacks jurisdiction
to review contentions not raised before the agency).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
