Lorenzo Mosquera-Bernachea v. Eric Holder, Jr.

MEMORANDUM

Lorenzo Mosquera-Bernachea petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) order dismissing his appeal and denying his motion to remand his case to the Immigration Judge (IJ). He also petitions for review of the BIA’s subsequent order denying his motion to reconsider.

Mosquera’s claim that the IJ abused her discretion in denying his request for a continuance until the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (US-CIS). adjudicated his Form I-360 petition (Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant) is moot, because the USCIS has now denied his petition. See Mamigonian v. Biggs, 710 F.3d 936, 942 (9th Cir.2013).

We reject Mosquera’s claim that the IJ abused her discretion in denying Mosqu-era’s motion for a continuance to procure the presence of corroborative witnesses and other supporting evidence. Mosqu-era’s due process right to a full and fair hearing was not violated because he was represented by counsel at all relevant hearings, had time to prepare and submit his application for relief, and had ample opportunity to present testimony and other evidence in support of his application. See Zetino v. Holder, 622 F.3d 1007, 1013…
