This court reviews the immigration judge's decision on voluntary departure under an abuse of discretion standard. Cuevas-Ortega v. INS. 588 F.2d 1274, 1278 (9th Cir.1979). The immigration judge relied on the fact that petitioner has previously voluntarily departed this country nine times. We hold that, based on petitioner's history of repeated voluntary departures and re-entries, the immigration judge did not abuse his discretion in this case.
