               Respondent.



                       On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                           Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted January 11, 2010 **

Before:        BEEZER, TROTT, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an

immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order denying his application for cancellation of

removal. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo

claims of due process violations in immigration proceedings, Sandoval-Luna v.

Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243, 1246 (9th Cir. 2008) (per curiam), and we deny the

petition for review.

        Amoles Raya’s contention that the IJ violated due process by refusing to

continue the proceedings fails because Amoles Raya did not establish “good

cause” for a continuance. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29; Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241,

1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error for a due process violation).

        PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
