MEMORANDUM **

Maria Auxilio Rodriguez-Landa, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her motion to reopen deportation 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, Garcia v. INS, 222 F.3d 1208, 1209 (9th Cir.2000) (per curiam), and we deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Rodriguez-Landa’s motion to reopen because Rodriguez-Landa’s former counsel received proper notice of the deportation hearing held on April 14, 1994. See id. (notice to an attorney of record constitutes notice to petitioner); cf. Flores-Chavez v. Ashcroft, 362 F.3d 1150, 1153 (9th Cir.2004).

Rodriguez-Landa’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
