Perez-Aguado v. Gonzales

MEMORANDUM **

Erasmo Perez-Aguado, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order affirming without opinion an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. To the extent we have jurisdiction, it is con*635ferred by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations in immigration proceedings. See Marbinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir.2005). We dismiss in part, deny in part and grant in part the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the IJ’s discretionary determination that Perez-Aguado failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship. See id. at 930.

Perez-Aguado’s contention that the agency deprived him of due process by misapplying the law to the facts of his case is not colorable. See id. (“[Traditional abuse of discretion challenges recast as alleged due process violations do not constitute colorable constitutional claims that would invoke our jurisdiction.”); see also Sanchez-Cruz v. INS, 255 F.3d 775, 779 (9th Cir.2001) (holding that the “misapplication of case law” may not be reviewed).

We are not persuaded by PerezAguado’s contention that the IJ violated due process by excluding certain evidence, relying on evidence not in the record, acting as an expert witness, and failing to be impartial and objective, because the proceedings were not “so fundamentally unfair that he was prevented from reasonably presenting his case.” Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000) (citation omitted). Moreover, Perez-Aguado failed to demonstrate prejudice. See id. (requiring prejudice to prevail on a due process challenge).

We lack jurisdiction to evaluate whether streamlining was appropriate. See Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 854 (9th Cir.2003).

The IJ granted voluntary departure for a 60-day period and the BIA streamlined and changed the voluntary departure period to 30 days. In Padilla-Padilla v. Gonzales, 463 F.3d 972, 981 (9th Cir.2006), we held “that because the BIA issued a streamlined order, it was required to affirm the entirety of the IJ’s decision, including the length of the voluntary departure period.” We therefore remand to the agency for further proceedings regarding voluntary departure.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part; GRANTED in part; REMANDED.
