Puga-Sanchez

MEMORANDUM **

Juan Puga-Sanchez, 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”) removal order. Our *250 jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a continuance, Sandoval-Luna v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243, 1246 (9th Cir.2008) (per curiam), and review de novo questions of law and claims of due process violations, Vasquez-Zavala v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 1105, 1107 (9th Cir.2003). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

Before the agency, Puga-Sanchez admitted the factual allegations and conceded the charge under 8 U.S.C. § 1182 (a)(6)(E)(i) in the Notice To Appear. To the extent Puga-Sanchez now contends that he did not knowingly participate or otherwise assist in the smuggling attempt, we lack jurisdiction. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir.2004) (court lacks jurisdiction to review contentions not raised before the agency).

Contrary to Puga-Sanchez’s contentions, the agency did not abuse its discretion in denying his motion to continue. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29 ; Sandoval-Luna, 526 F.3d…
