§ 1252. We review de novo constitutional claims. Vilchez v. Holder, 682 F.3d
1195, 1198 (9th Cir. 2012). We deny the petition for review.
Marin-Arizpe does not challenge the determination that his California Penal
Code § 288(a) conviction is an aggravated felony that renders him removable. See
Rizk v. Holder, 629 F.3d 1083, 1091 n.3 (9th Cir. 2011) (a petitioner waives an
issue by failing to raise it in the opening brief). This court’s jurisdiction is
therefore limited to reviewing colorable questions of law or constitutional claims.
See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(C), (D).
Marin-Arizpe’s contention that the IJ violated his due process right to a full
and fair hearing lacks merit, where the IJ questioned Marin-Arizpe to discover if
there were any forms of relief available to him and determined there were not, and
where Marin-Arizpe has not established prima facie eligibility for protection under
the Convention Against Torture. See Vilchez, 682 F.3d at 1199 (“A due process
violation occurs where (1) the proceeding was so fundamentally unfair that the
alien was prevented from reasonably presenting his case, and (2) the alien
demonstrates prejudice, which means that the outcome of the proceeding may have
been affected by the alleged violation.” (citation and quotation marks omitted)).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
