MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted November 13, 2012**
Before: CANBY, TROTT, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.
Reginald Akai Nettey, a native and citizen of Ghana, petitions pro se for

immigration judge’s (“IJ”) removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.

11-73645 2
§ 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations in immigration
proceedings, Zetino v. Holder, 622 F.3d 1007, 1011-12 (9th Cir. 2010), and we
deny the petition for review.
Nettey contends that the IJ violated his right to due process by failing to
thoroughly inquire into his case to determine if he qualified for any forms of relief,
including relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). His contention
fails because before the IJ, Nettey stated that he did not fear returning to Ghana,
nor has Nettey presented any basis for a CAT claim. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d
1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error and prejudice to prevail on a due
process claim).
Nettey’s remaining contention is unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
