de novo claims of due process violations, Vilchez v. Holder, 682 F.3d 1195, 1198
(9th Cir. 2012), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not violate due process in denying Ruiz-Quiroz’ request to hold
his appeal in abeyance, where the request was not sufficiently supported and the
BIA provided reasoned grounds for denial. In addition, the denial did not prevent
Ruiz-Quiroz from presenting his ineffective assistance claim in a motion to reopen.
See id. at 1199 (the court will reverse the BIA’s decision on due process grounds if
the proceeding was “so fundamentally unfair that the alien was prevented from
reasonably presenting his case”); She v. Holder, 629 F.3d 958, 963 (9th Cir. 2010)
(“Due process and this court’s precedent require a minimum degree of clarity in
dispositive reasoning and in the treatment of a properly raised argument.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
