Manuel Montes-Hernandez v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Manuel Montes-Hernandez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying him a continuance. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the agency’s denial of a continuance. Ahmed v. Holder, 569 F.3d 1009, 1012 (9th Cir. 2009). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Montes-Hernandez’s request for a continuance for failure to show good cause where Montes-Hernandez had already been granted three continuances for the purpose of preparing and filing a U visa application. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29 (an immigration judge may grant a motion for a continuance for good cause shown); Ahmed, 569 F.3d at 1012-14.
To the extent Montes-Hernandez seeks review of the agency’s denial of bond, we lack jurisdiction to review this decision. See 8 U.S.C. § 1226(e).
*667 PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
