MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted July 19, 2010**
Before: B. FLETCHER, REINHARDT, and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges.
Yowssef Mohamed Abowzid, a native and citizen of Egypt, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order summarily dismissing his
appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) removal order. We have jurisdiction
under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a

continuance, Sandoval-Luna v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243, 1246 (9th Cir. 2008) (per
curiam), and we deny the petition for review.
The IJ did not abuse his discretion in denying a continuance where Abowzid
did not demonstrate good cause. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29 (an IJ may grant a motion
for a continuance for good cause shown); Baires v. INS, 856 F.2d 89, 92-93 (9th
Cir. 1988). It follows that Abowzid’s due process claim fails. See Lata v. INS, 204
F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error for a petitioner to prevail on a due
process claim).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
