   MEMORANDUM

Oscar Vindel-Diaz, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s denial of his motion to reopen deportation proceedings conducted in absen-tia. 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 questions of law. Hamazaspyan v. Holder, 590 F.3d 744, 747 (9th Cir.2009). We deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Vindel-Diaz’s motion to reopen, where Vindel-Diaz failed to demonstrate that he did not receive proper notice of his hearing. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(b)(5)(C); see also 8 U.S.C. § 1252b(a)(2)(A), (c)(2) (repealed 1996) (explaining that written notice of the time and place of proceedings is not required where an alien does not provide a mailing address). It follows that Vindel-Diaz’s due process claims fail. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir.2000).

In light of this disposition, we need not reach Vindel-Diaz’s contentions regarding his eligibility for cancellation of removal or asylum.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
