for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Salta v. INS, 314 F.3d
1076, 1078 (9th Cir. 2002), and we deny the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reopen on
the ground that Gonzalez-Maya failed to demonstrate that personal service of the
Order to Show Cause provided him insufficient notice of his hearing. See Khan v.
Ashcroft, 374 F.3d 825, 829 (9th Cir. 2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
