Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted December 14, 2010 **
Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.
Francisco Alonso Portillo-Cano, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal
from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) removal order. We have jurisdiction under
8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations, including

claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785,
791-92 (9th Cir. 2005), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not err in concluding that Portillo-Cano had not shown he was
prejudiced by his prior attorneys’ failure to respond to the government’s motion to
pretermit where he failed to establish that a response may have affected the
outcome of his removal proceeding. See Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889,
899-900 (9th Cir. 2003).
Because Portillo-Cano failed to raise his contention that the IJ erred in
issuing a summary decision on appeal to the BIA, we lack jurisdiction to review it.
See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004).
In light of our disposition, we need not reach Portillo-Cano’s remaining
contention.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
