Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Sureshbhai Ranchhodji Ahir, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying his motion to reopen deportation proceedings conducted in absentia. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Arrieta v. INS, 117 F.3d 429, 430 (9th Cir.1997) (per curiam). We deny the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Ahir's motion to reopen on the ground that Ahir failed to rebut the strong presumption of effective service arising from the service of his hearing notice by certified mail. See id. at 431; Matter of Grijalva, 21 I. & N. Dec. 27, 37 (BIA 1995).
Ahir's contention that the agency erred by ignoring evidence is not supported by the record. Lin v. Holder, 588 F.3d 981, 987-88 (9th Cir.2009) (although the BIA must consider a petitioner's evidence, "it need not expressly refute on the record every single piece of evidence").
It follows that the agency did not violate Ahir's due process rights by denying the motion. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir.2000) (requiring error and substantial prejudice to prevail on a due process claim).
Ahir's remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
