UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") decision, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review is DENIED.
Jorge Quizhpi, a native and citizen of Ecuador, seeks review of a January 23, 2014, decision of the BIA, affirming the May 7, 2012, decision of an Immigration Judge ("IJ"), denying his motion to reopen. In re Jorge Quizhpi, No. A096 442 333 (B.I.A. Jan. 23, 2014), aff'g No. A096 442 333 (Immig. Ct. Buffalo May 7, 2012). We assume the parties' familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history in this case.
Under the circumstances of this case, we have considered both the IJ's and the BIA's opinions "for the sake of completeness." Wangchuck v. Dep't of Homeland Sec., 448 F.3d 524, 528 (2d Cir. 2006). The applicable standards of review are well established. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B); Yanqin Weng v. Holder, 562 F.3d 510, 513 (2d Cir. 2009).
We review the denial of motions to reopen for abuse of discretion. See Jian Hui Shao v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138, 168-69, 173 (2d Cir. 2008). A motion to rescind an in absentia removal order is reviewed under the same standard as a motion to reopen. See Alrefae v. Chertoff, 471 F.3d 353, 357 (2d Cir. 2006). Generally, a motion to rescind must be filed within 180 days of a removal order. 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(b)(5)(C)(i). The deadline may be tolled, however, if an alien can demonstrate that he did not receive proper notice of the hearing. Id. § 1229a(b)(5)(C)(ii).
Quizhpi received proper notice because his Notice of Hearing was mailed to his last known address, which was provided on the Notice to EOIR: Alien Address (Form I-830). See 8 U.S.C. § 1229(c). Quizhpi asserted that he never lived at the address provided on the I-830, and that his bond obligor had provided that address without his knowledge. However, the I-830 stated that it was Quizhpi who had provided the address.
Accordingly, because the record supports the agency's finding that Quizhpi did not provide a correct updated address, it did not err in finding that Quizhpi could not "evade delivery of a properly sent [Notice of Hearing] by relocating without providing the required change of address[.]" See Matter of M-R-A-, 24 I. & N. Dec. 665, 675 (B.I.A. 2008); Maghradze v. Gonzales, 462 F.3d 150, 154 (2d Cir. 2006) (finding permissible the BIA's determination that an alien who fails to provide an update of a change of address is deemed to have constructively received notice in accordance with 8 U.S.C. § 1229(a)).
Quizhpi argues that he was denied due process because he was not given the opportunity to cross-examine the immigration officer who prepared the I-830. But Quizhpi was afforded an opportunity to argue that issue before the BIA because the IJ's reliance on that document presupposed its reliability. See Burger v. Gonzales, 498 F.3d 131, 134 (2d Cir. 2007) (noting that a due process violation requires showing lack of notice and opportunity to be heard or deprivation of fundamental fairness).
Quizhpi does not challenge the agency's determination that, to the extent that he sought reopening to apply for adjustment of status, his motion was untimely and he failed to establish prima facie eligibility for that relief. He has therefore waived review of that issue. Yueqing Zhang v. Gonzales, 426 F.3d 540, 542 n.1 (2d Cir. 2005).
For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is DENIED. As we have completed our review, any stay of removal that the Court previously granted in this petition is VACATED, and any pending motion for a stay of removal in this petition is DISMISSED as moot. Any pending request for oral argument in this petition is DENIED in accordance with Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 34(a)(2), and Second Circuit Local Rule 34.1(b).
