MEMORANDUM **

Juan Manuel Rodriguez Rodriguez (Rodriguez) petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ ruling affirming the decision of an Immigration Judge (IJ) that Rodriguez failed to meet the continuous physical presence requirement to qualify for cancellation of removal.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that the notice to appear (NTA) was properly served on Rodriguez in 1998 by mailing it to his last known address, in Los Angeles. Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1229(a)(1), the NTA may be served upon the alien or the alien’s representative. There was substantial evidence in the record to establish that the NTA was mailed to the address provided by Rodriguez’s representative. In turn, service of the NTA halted the accrual of time counted toward the ten-year continuous physical presence requirement for cancel *598 lation of removal. See Lagandaon v. Ashcroft, 383 F.3d 983, 988 (9th Cir. 2004).

PETITION DENIED.
