Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Pedro Manuel Perez-Higueroa, Iliana Rosario Perez, and their son Cristian Omar Perez-Gaxiola, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying their applications for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations in removal proceedings, Cruz Rendon v. Holder, 603 F.3d 1104, 1109 (9th Cir.2010), and we deny the petition for review.

Petitioners contend they were deprived of a full and fair hearing because the immigration judge exhibited bias and hostility toward their counsel. Petitioners, however, have failed to establish that the exchanges between the immigration judge and counsel prevented them from reasonably presenting their case or introducing testimony. See Cinapian v. Holder, 567 F.3d 1067, 1074 (9th Cir.2009); Vargas-Hernandez v. Gonzales, 497 F.3d 919, 926-27 (9th Cir.2007). In addition, Petitioners have failed to demonstrate prejudice. Hassan v. INS, 927 F.2d 465, 469 (9th Cir.1991).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
