Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Sukhinder Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") denying his motion to reopen deportation proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Ordonez v. INS, 345 F.3d 777, 782 (9th Cir.2003), and de novo claims of constitutional violations in immigration proceedings, Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir.2001). We deny the petition for review.
Contrary to Singh's contention, the BIA applied the appropriate standard of review and thus did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reopen. See Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir.2002) (BIA's denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed if it is "arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law").
Singh's due process claim regarding simultaneous translation fails because the proceedings were not "so fundamentally unfair that [he] was prevented from reasonably presenting his case." Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000) (citation omitted). Moreover, Singh failed to demonstrate that simultaneous translation of the entire hearing may have affected the outcome of the proceedings. See id. (requiring prejudice to prevail on a due process challenge).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
