Before: ALARCÓN, O’SCANNLAIN, and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Cortez-Rodriguez’s
motion to reopen for failure to show lack of notice where the government

of Hearing. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252b(a)(1), (a)(2)(A), (c)(1) (repealed 1996); see also
Chaidez v. Gonzales, 486 F.3d 1079, 1085 (9th Cir. 2007) (“For OSCs, service was
proper only if the INS established that the return receipt was signed by the alien or
a responsible person at the alien’s address.”); Arrieta v. INS, 117 F.3d 429, 431
(9th Cir. 1997) (per curiam) (“[N]otice [of hearing] by certified mail sent to an
alien’s last known address can be sufficient under the Act, even if no one signed
for it.”).
Cortez-Rodriguez’s remaining contentions are unsupported by the record.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
