Luquin-Martinez v. Gonzales

MEMORANDUM ^**

Maria Yolanda Luquin-Martinez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s (“U”) decision denying her application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations in immigration proceedings. See Sanchez-Cruz v. INS, 255 F.3d 775, 779 (9th Cir.2001). We deny the petition for review.

We reject Luquin-Martinez’s contention that the IJ violated due process by denying a continuance because Luquin-Martinez failed to demonstrate that additional time to prepare her case would have affected the outcome of the proceedings. See Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000) (citation omitted) (requiring prejudice to prevail on a due process challenge).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
