Rodarte-Rodarte v. Gonzales

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Adrian Rodarte-Rodarte, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order of removal and denial of his request for a continuance. We have jurisdiction under 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), and we deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Rodarte-Rodarte’s request for a second continuance for failure to show good cause where he had already been granted a continuance for the purpose of applying for humanitarian reinstatement of his visa petition but had failed to do so during the continuance period. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29 (IJ may grant a motion for a continuance for good cause shown); Ahmed, 569 F.3d at 1012.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
