The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision

judge’s decision denying their applications for cancellation of removal. We have
jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process
violations in removal proceedings, Cruz Rendon v. Holder, 603 F.3d 1104, 1109
(9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition for review.
Petitioners contend they were deprived of a full and fair hearing because the
immigration judge exhibited bias and hostility toward their counsel. Petitioners,
however, have failed to establish that the exchanges between the immigration
judge and counsel prevented them from reasonably presenting their case or
introducing testimony. See Cinapian v. Holder, 567 F.3d 1067, 1074 (9th Cir.
2009); Vargas-Hernandez v. Gonzales, 497 F.3d 919, 926-27 (9th Cir. 2007). In
addition, Petitioners have failed to demonstrate prejudice. Hassan v. INS, 927 F.2d
465, 469 (9th Cir. 1991).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
