Singh v. Holder
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Jarnail Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his motion to reopen deportation proceedings conducted in absen-tia. Reviewing for abuse of discretion, Urbina-Osejo v. INS, 124 F.3d 1314, 1316 (9th Cir. 1997), we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh’s motion to reopen because Singh failed to demonstrate “reasonable cause” for failing to appear at the October 11,1990, hearing. See id.
We lack jurisdiction to review Singh’s contentions regarding the legal sufficiency of the notice of hearing and the obligation to advise the immigration court of any change of address, because Singh failed to raise those issues before the agency. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004).
In light of our disposition, Singh’s request for fees is denied.
*744 PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
