previous decision dismissing their 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 for petitioner to prevail on a
due process claim).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
