   MEMORANDUM

Roger Aguilar, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings and reissue its decision denying his appeal from an immigration judge’s final order of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Hernandez-Velasquez v. Holder, 611 F.3d 1073, 1077 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in declining to reissue its August 2014 decision, where Aguilar acknowledged in his declaration that he received notice of the decision and he does not allege ineffective assistance of counsel. See Singh v. Napolitano, 649 F.3d 899, 901 (9th Cir. 2011) (the BIA has reissued decisions where an alien has shown lack of notice due to administrative error or ineffective assistance of counsel).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
