               Respondent.



                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted September 13, 2010 **

Before:        SILVERMAN, CALLAHAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

       Monty Satriawan, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of

the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen

removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for

abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, and review de novo claims of

due process violations, including ineffective assistance of counsel claims.

Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the

petition for review.

      The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Satriawan’s motion to

reopen where he failed to establish that ineffective assistance of counsel may have

affected the outcome of his case. See Rojas-Garcia v. Ashcroft, 339 F.3d 814, 826

(9th Cir. 2003) (to prevail on an ineffective assistance of counsel claim a petitioner

must demonstrate prejudice).

      Satriawan’s remaining contentions are unavailing.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
