Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted March 12, 2013 **
Before: PREGERSON, REINHARDT, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from
an immigration judge’s decision denying him a continuance. Our jurisdiction is

governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the agency’s
denial of a continuance. Ahmed v. Holder, 569 F.3d 1009, 1012 (9th Cir. 2009).
We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Montes-Hernandez’s
request for a continuance for failure to show good cause where Montes-Hernandez
had already been granted three continuances for the purpose of preparing and filing
a U visa application. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29 (an immigration judge may grant a
motion for a continuance for good cause shown); Ahmed, 569 F.3d at 1012-14.
To the extent Montes-Hernandez seeks review of the agency’s denial of
bond, we lack jurisdiction to review this decision. See 8 U.S.C. § 1226(e).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
