Alfonso Escoto-Rodriguez v. Loretta E. Lynch

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Alfonso Escoto-Rodriguez v. Loretta E. Lynch, 647 F. App'x 707 (9th Cir. 2016)

Alfonso Escoto-Rodriguez v. Loretta E. Lynch

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Alfonso Escoto-Rodriguez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo constitutional claims. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.

Escoto-Rodriguez’ contention that the IJ violated due process, by allegedly misstating the amount of time Escoto-Rodri-guez would have to remain outside the United States for consular processing, fails for lack of prejudice. The BIA conducted a de novo review and concluded that, even if the IJ had erred in estimating the time for consular processing, the record did not establish the requisite hardship for a grant of cancellation of removal. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (to prevail on a due process challenge, an alien must show error and prejudice).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
