deny the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion or violate due process in denying
Hernandez-Canchola’s request for a continuance because he did not demonstrate
good cause. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29; Ahmed v. Holder, 569 F.3d 1009, 1012 (9th
Cir. 2009) (factors considered in determining whether the denial of a continuance
constitutes an abuse of discretion include the nature of the evidence excluded as a
result of the denial); Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring
error and prejudice to prevail on a due process claim).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
