United States First Circuit

Petition for review of a BIA denial of an untimely motion to reopen removal proceedings is rejected where the BIA's original decision upholding the petitioner's removal was properly served - even though it was sent to an old address and returned as undeliverable - since the petitioner's attorney had failed to update the address with the court.
