On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted April 11, 2017**
Before: GOULD, CLIFTON, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.
Pedro Enrique Munoz Bonilla, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an
immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his motion for a continuance. We
have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the

agency’s denial of a continuance, and we review de novo due process claims.
Sandoval-Luna v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243, 1246 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the
petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion or violate due process in denying
Munoz Bonilla’s motion for a third continuance, where he failed to file any
applications for relief from removal after the IJ had warned him of the
consequences of such failure, and he failed to establish good cause. See 8 C.F.R. §
1003.31(c); Sandoval-Luna, 526 F.3d at 1247; Lata v. I.N.S., 204 F.3d 1241, 1246
(9th Cir. 2000) (an alien must show error and prejudice to prevail on a due process
claim).
The record does not support Munoz Bonilla’s contention that the agency
failed to consider contentions or provide sufficient reasoning. See Najmabadi v.
Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 990 (9th Cir. 2010).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
