Janez-Padilla v. Ashcroft

MEMORANDUM **

Julio Janez-Padilla, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) summary affirmance of an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we deny the petition for review.

Petitioner’s regulatory challenge to the BIA’s streamlining of his case is foreclosed *475by Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 855 (9th Cir.2003).

Reviewing the IJ’s denial of a continuance for abuse of discretion, Baires v. INS, 856 F.2d 89, 91 (9th Cir.1988), we find none. Petitioner’s reliance on In re Velarde-Pacheco, 23 I. & N. Dec. 253 (BIA 2002) (en banc), is unavailing, as his case does not satisfy the five factors required by that decision. See id. at 256.

Pursuant to Desta v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741 (9th Cir.2004), Petitioner’s motion for stay of removal included a timely request for stay of voluntary departure. Because the motion for stay of removal was continued based on the government’s filing of a notice of non-opposition, the voluntary departure period was also stayed, nunc pro tunc, to the filing of the motion for stay of removal, and this stay will expire upon issuance of the mandate.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
