Maria Del Rosario Zanudo Bojorquez and Miguel Maldonado Hernandez,

§ 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion for a
continuance, Karapetyan v. Mukasey, 543 F.3d 1118, 1129 (9th Cir. 2008), and de
novo questions of law, Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir. 2001). We deny
the petition for review.
The IJ did not abuse his discretion in denying petitioners’ motion for a
continuance where they failed to show good cause. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29;
Karapetyan, 543 F.3d at 1129. It follows that petitioners’ due process claim fails.
See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error and prejudice
for a petitioner to prevail on a due process claim).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
