U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit February 25, 2004

Santos-Bernardo v. Ashcroft, 88 F. App'x 250 (9th Cir. 2004)

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM**

Ernesto Santos-Bernardo, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision summarily affirming an immigration judge’s denial of cancellation of re*251moval. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo due process claims, Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition.

Santos-Bernardo did not demonstrate that his counsel’s failure to timely file his cancellation of removal application caused prejudice. See id. at 902-03. Accordingly, Santos-Bernardo’s due process challenge fails. See id.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
