MEMORANDUM **
Amarjeet Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen deportation proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a). See Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir.1997). We review for an abuse of discretion, Shaar v. INS, 141 F.3d 953, 955 (9th Cir.1998), and deny the petition.
Singh’s motion to reopen alleged that he never received the BIA’s prior order dismissing his appeal and was therefore precluded from filing a timely appeal. The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying the motion because it mailed notice to the last address provided by Singh’s counsel, and counsel did not notify the BIA of any address change. See Garcia v. INS, 222 F.3d 1208, 1209 (9th Cir.2000) (per curiam) (stating that “[d]ue process is satisfied if notice is served in a manner ‘reasonably calculated’ to ensure it reaches the alien” (internal citation omitted)); Sequiera-Solan v. INS, 104 F.3d 278, 279 (9th Cir.1997) (explaining that petitioner must notify the immigration court of a change of address).
