   MEMORANDUM

Luis Alberto Guillen-Corea, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s denial of his request for a continuance, and denying a motion to remand. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a continuance and the denial of a motion to remand. Malilia v. Holder, 632 F.3d 598, 602 (9th Cir.2011); Romero-Ruiz v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 1057, 1062 (9th Cir.2008). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Guillen-Corea’s request for a fifth continuance where there was no pending 1-130 visa petition at the time of the continuance request and Guillen-Corea’s first 1-130 had been denied. See Matter of Hashmi, 24 I. & N. Dec. 785, 790-92 (BIA 2009) (listing factors to consider when determining if a continuance is warranted when an 1-130 petition is pending, including the viability of the petition and previous denials (emphasis added)); cf. Mali-lia, 632 F.3d at 606-07 (applying Hashmi factors).

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to remand where Guil-len-Corea provided no supporting evidence to prove the viability of his second 1-130 petition. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1).

We lack jurisdiction to consider Guillen-Corea’s request for prosecutorial discretion. See Vilchiz-Soto v. Holder, 688 F.3d 642, 644 (9th Cir.2012) (order).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
