order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying
their applications for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations in removal
proceedings, Lopez-Umanzor v. Gonzales, 405 F.3d 1049, 1053 (9th Cir. 2005),
and we deny the petition for review.
Contrary to the petitioners’ contention that the IJ violated due process by
limiting their direct testimony and their expert’s testimony, the proceedings were
not so fundamentally unfair that the petitioners “were prevented from reasonably
presenting [their] case.” See Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir. 2000).
Moreover, the petitioners failed to demonstrate that additional testimony would
have potentially affected the outcome of the proceedings. See id. (requiring
prejudice to prevail on a due process challenge).
The petitioners’ contention that the BIA misapprehended the facts is not
persuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
