Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted September 13, 2016**
Before: HAWKINS, N.R. SMITH, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.
Teodoro Guerrero-Venegas, 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 decision denying his application for cancellation of
removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo

questions of law. Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003). We deny
the petition for review.
Guerrero-Venegas’ contention that the agency violated its own regulations
governing the pleading stage of proceedings fails for lack of prejudice, because he
does not dispute the factual basis for removability. See Kohli v. Gonzales, 473
F.3d 1061, 1066 (9th Cir. 2007) (petitioner must demonstrate that he was
prejudiced by the agency’s violation of its own regulation); 8 C.F.R. § 1240.10.
We reject Guerrero-Venegas’ contention that the BIA issued an order of
removal in the first instance.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
