Figueroa-Bahena v. Holder

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Florencio Figueroa-Bahena, Maria Victoria Figueroa, and Lionel Figueroa, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying their motion to reissue the BIA’s previous decision dismissing them appeal from an immigration judge’s order denying their applications for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen and de novo claims of due process violations. Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion or violate due process in denying petitioners’ motion to reissue, where it considered their evidence of non-receipt and concluded that it was insufficient to rebut the presumption of proper mailing. See Singh v. Gonzales, 494 F.3d 1170, 1172-73 (9th Cir. 2007) (BIA is obligated to consider and address the evidence submitted by petitioner); see also Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error *367 for petitioner to prevail on a due process claim).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
