   MEMORANDUM

Octavio Uribe Martinez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order affirming without opinion an immigration judge’s decision (“IJ”) denying his application for cancellation of removal. To the extent we have jurisdiction, it is conferred by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations in immigration proceedings, Sanchez-Cruz v. INS, 255 F.3d 775, 779 (9th Cir.2001), and we dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

Uribe Martinez’s contention that the agency violated his due process rights by disregarding evidence and assuming facts not in evidence is not supported by the record and does not amount to a colorable constitutional claim. See id. at 930 (“[traditional abuse of discretion challenges recast as alleged due process violations do not constitute colorable constitutional claims that would invoke our jurisdiction.”).

Uribe Martinez’s due process challenge to the BIA’s decision is foreclosed by Fal con Carricke v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 848-53 (9th Cir.2003) (holding that the Board’s streamlining procedure comports with due process).

Uribe Martinez’s contention that he was denied due process when the IJ refused to continue his hearing is unavailing, because he has not shown that a continuance would have affected the outcome of his proceedings. See Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000) (requiring prejudice to prevail on a due process challenge).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
