MEMORANDUM **
Jesus Rico, 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 his application for cancellation of removal, and denying his motion to remand. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review de novo claims of constitutional violations in immigration proceedings, Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir.2001), and review the denial of a motion to remand for abuse of discretion, Castillo-Perez v. INS, 212 F.3d 518, 523 (9th Cir.2000). We deny the petition for review.
Rico’s contention that the IJ and the BIA violated his due process rights by failing to address evidence of hardship to his older son, is not supported by the record. Rico submitted evidence to the IJ that his son was merely being evaluated for attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”), and the BIA reviewed Rico’s evidence, submitted with his motion to remand, that his son had been newly diagnosed with ADHD. See Colmenar v. *137 INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000) (citation omitted) (requiring prejudice to prevail on a due process challenge).
