MEMORANDUM***
Andres Martinez-Reyes, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of *149the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision dismissing his appeal of the immigration judge’s denial of his motion to reopen, filed eight years after Martinez-Reyes was ordered deported in absentia. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a). Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir.1997). We review the denial of a motion to reopen for abuse of discretion, Garcia v. INS, 222 F.3d 1208, 1209 (9th Cir.2000) (per curiam), and we deny the petition for review.
Martinez-Reyes moved to reopen on the ground that he failed to attend his deportation hearing because he did not receive notice of the date of the hearing. The BIA did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Martinez-Reyes’s appeal because notice of the hearing was sent by certified mail to Martinez-Reyes at his address of record. See Farhoud v. INS, 122 F.3d 794, 796 (9th Cir.1997).
To the extent that Martinez-Reyes argues improper delivery or nondelivery by the postal service, he failed to submit evidence to support this argument. See Arrieta v. INS, 117 F.3d 429, 432 (9th Cir. 1997) (per curiam).
Martinez-Reyes’s contention that the INS failed to follow its’ own directive in not joining his motion to reopen is unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
