Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Hermilo Velasco Lopez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying his motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir.2003), and de novo due process claims, Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000). We deny the petition for review.
Velasco Lopez argues that his due process rights were violated because portions of his hearing and the immigration judges's decision were not translated to him. This contention fails because Velasco Lopez did not demonstrate how he was prejudiced by the lack of translation. See Hartooni v. INS, 21 F.3d 336, 340 (9th Cir.1994); see also El Rescate Legal Services, Inc. v. EOIR, 959 F.2d 742, 752 (9th Cir.1992) (there is no requirement that the entire immigration court proceeding be translated). Therefore, the BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Velasco Lopez's motion to reopen. See Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir.2002) (The BIA's denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed only if it is "arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law.").
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
