v. MEMORANDUM *
ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted January 10, 2011
Before: BEEZER, TALLMAN, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.
Maria Del Rosario Zanudo Bojorquez and Miguel Maldonado Hernandez,
natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration
Appeals’ order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision
denying their motion for a continuance. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
§ 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion for a
continuance, Karapetyan v. Mukasey, 543 F.3d 1118, 1129 (9th Cir. 2008), and de
novo questions of law, Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir. 2001). We deny
the petition for review.
The IJ did not abuse his discretion in denying petitioners’ motion for a
continuance where they failed to show good cause. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29;
Karapetyan, 543 F.3d at 1129. It follows that petitioners’ due process claim fails.
See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error and prejudice
for a petitioner to prevail on a due process claim).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
