Yowssef Abowzid v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Yowssef Mohamed Abowzid, a native and citizen of Egypt, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order summarily dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) 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 IJ did not abuse his discretion in denying a continuance where Abowzid 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). It follows that Abowzid’s due process claim fails. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error for a petitioner to prevail on a due process claim).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
