    MEMORANDUM*
    LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General,
    Respondent.
    On Petition for Review of an Order of the
    Board of Immigration Appeals
    Submitted April 13, 2016**
    Before:        FARRIS, TALLMAN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
    Rigoberto Ramos-Alejo, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review
    of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an
    immigration judge’s removal order denying his request for a continuance. We
    have jurisdiction under 
    8 U.S.C. § 1252
    . We review for abuse of discretion the

    except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

    The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
    without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
    denial of a continuance. 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 Ramos-Alejo’s request
    for a further continuance for failure to demonstrate good cause, where Ramos-
    Alejo conceded removability, was ineligible for the relief sought, and did not
    sufficiently show how a continuance could have affected the outcome of his case.
    See 
    8 C.F.R. § 1003.29
     (“The Immigration Judge may grant a motion for
    continuance for good cause shown.”); Sandoval-Luna, 
    526 F.3d at 1247
     (the denial
    of a continuance was within the agency’s discretion where relief was not
    immediately available to petitioner).
    PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
