jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of
a continuance, and review de novo claims of due process violations. Sandoval-
Luna v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243, 1246 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for
review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Chiquete-Verdugo’s
request for a further continuance for failure to demonstrate good cause. See 8
C.F.R. § 1003.29; Ahmed v. Holder, 569 F.3d 1009, 1012-13 (9th Cir. 2009)
(factors considered in determining whether the denial of a continuance constitutes
an abuse of discretion include the nature of the evidence excluded as a result of the
denial). Furthermore, the denial of Chiquete-Verdugo’s request for a continuance
did not violate his due process rights, where he has not provided sufficient
evidence of eligibility for relief that would demonstrate prejudice. See Lata v. INS,
204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error and prejudice to prevail on a
due process claim).
Chiquete-Verdugo’s claim that he was denied a full and fair hearing also
fails. See id.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
