MEMORANDUM **

Maria Luisa Valverde-Escalante, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her 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 motion for a continuance, Sandoval-Luna v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243, 1246 (9th Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion by denying Valverde-Escalante’s motion for a continuance. See id. at 1247.

To the extent that the IJ erred by not articulating his reasons for denying the motion, this error was rendered harmless by the BIA’s subsequent consideration of the issue in conducting its de novo review. See Ghaly v. INS, 58 F.3d 1425, 1430 (9th Cir. 1995).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
