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 * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent 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. 2 14-73028
