v.

ERIC H. HOLDER, JR., Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Submitted: January 4, 2012 Decided: January 10, 2012

Before WILKINSON, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Chester L. Smith, Virginia Beach, Virginia, for Petitioner. Tony West, Assistant Attorney General, Linda S. Wernery, Assistant Director, Thankful T. Vanderstar, Office of Immigration Litigation, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Yassir Mahmoudi, a native and citizen of Morocco,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal from the immigration

judge’s denial of his motion for a continuance. We have

reviewed the record and find no abuse of discretion. See

Lendo v. Gonzales,

(4th Cir. 2007) (setting

forth standard of review). We further find that Mahmoudi cannot

demonstrate a violation of his due process rights as he fails to

show the requisite prejudice. See Anim v. Mukasey,

(4th Cir. 2008). Accordingly, we deny the petition for

review substantially for the reasons stated by the Board. See

In re: Mahmoudi (B.I.A. June 17, 2011). We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
