MEMORANDUM

Miguel Sanchez-Chacolla, 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 pre-conclusion voluntary departure. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review de novo claims of due process violations. Rojas v. Holder, 704 F.3d 792, 794 (9th Cir.2012).

Sanchez-Chacolla’s claim that the IJ exhibited bias or prejudice during his removal proceedings is not supported by the record. See Rivera v. Mukasey, 508 F.3d 1271,1276 (9th Cir.2007).

This disposition is not appropriate for…
