Nava-Vazquez v. Holder

341 F. App'x 315

Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

Jose Nava-Vazquez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo due process claims. Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000). We deny the petition for review.

Nava-Vazquez contends the IJ violated due process by denying his motion to re-cuse, without issuing a written decision. Contrary to .Nava-Vazquez’s contention, he did not demonstrate that recusal or a written decision regarding recusal would have affected the agency’s determination that Nava-Vazquez failed to demonstrate the requisite hardship. See id. (requiring prejudice to prevail on a due process challenge).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
