MEMORANDUM **

The Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denied Petitioner Dwaidari’s motion to reopen his deportation order issued in abstentia. Except as hereinafter provided, we have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a), as amended by Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 § 309(c), Romani v.

INS, 34 F.3d 820, 823 (9th Cir.1994) (‘Whether administrative procedures infringe constitutional rights is a legal issue reviewed de novo”).

The Board did not violate procedural due process in this case because subsection 1252b(c)(3)(A) offered Dwaidari an “opportunity to be heard ... at a meaningful time and in a meaningful manner.” Id.; see also Logan v.
