jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the
denial of a motion for continuance. Sandoval-Luna v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243,
1246 (9th Cir. 2008) (per curiam). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition
for review.
The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Reyes-Solorio’s motion
to continue because Reyes-Solorio’s eligibility for adjustment of status was
speculative. See id. at 1247 (denial of a motion to continue was not an abuse of
discretion where relief was not immediately available to petitioner).
We lack jurisdiction to review Reyes-Solorio’s unexhausted due process
claim regarding the denial of a continuance. See Serrano v. Gonzales, 469 F.3d
1317, 1319 (9th Cir. 2006).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
