Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Mohamed Salaheldin Sharawi,- a native and citizen -of Egypt, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order .dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a continuance, Sandoval-Luna v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243, 1246 (9th Cir. 2008) (per curiam), and we deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying a continuance where Sharawi did not demonstrate good cause. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29. (an IJ. may grant a motion for a continuance for good cause shown); Baires v. INS, 856 F.2d 89, 92-93 (9th Cir. 1988).

..Sharawi’s remaining contentions are unavailing.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication ánd is not precedent except as provided by 9 th .Cir. R. 36-3.
