review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Cano-Merida v.
INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir. 2002), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying the Reyes’ motion to reissue
because the record supports the BIA’s finding that the BIA fulfilled its statutory
duty of service by mailing notice of its April 6, 2007, decision to the Reyes’
address of record, see Singh v. Gonzales, 494 F.3d 1170, 1172 (9th Cir. 2007)
(BIA fulfills statutory duty of service by properly mailing decision to alien), and
the BIA did not act arbitrarily, irrationally, or contrary to law by concluding that
Reyes Razo’s declaration in support of the motion alleging nonservice was not
sufficient to rebut the presumption of effective service, cf. id.(remanding to BIA to
determine weight of sworn affidavits of nonreceipt by alien and counsel); Singh v.
INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002) (reversing denial of motion to reopen if it
is arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
