MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted July 19, 2010**
Before: B. FLETCHER, REINHARDT, and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges.
Mohamed Salaheldin Sharawi, a native and citizen of Egypt, petitions pro
se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal
from an immigration judge’s 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 agency did not abuse its discretion in denying a continuance where
Sharawi 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).
Sharawi’s remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
