Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Miguel Sanchez-Chacolla, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying pre-conclusion voluntary departure. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations. Rojas v. Holder, 704 F.3d 792, 794 (9th Cir.2012). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s denial of Sanchez-Chacolla’s request for pre-conclusion voluntary departure. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B); Rojas, 704 F.3d at 794.

Sanchez-Chacolla’s claim that the IJ exhibited bias or prejudice during his removal proceedings is not supported by the record. See Rivera v. Mukasey, 508 F.3d 1271,1276 (9th Cir.2007).

Contrary to Sanchez-Chacolla’s contention, the BIA’s decision adequately addressed his claim that his due process rights were violated. See Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 990 (9th Cir.2010) (the BIA “does not have to write an exegesis on every contention”).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
