   MEMORANDUM

Carlos Alberto Rivas-Canas, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying a continuance. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion for a continuance, and review de novo claims of due process violations. Sandoval-Luna v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243, 1246 (9th Cir.2008). We deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Rivas-Canas’ request for a seventh continuance for failure to demonstrate good cause, where Rivas-Canas had been granted previous continuances, failed to file any applications for relief by the IJ’s deadlines, and failed to provide sufficient-evidence of eligibility for relief. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29; Ahmed v. Holder, 569 F.3d 1009, 1012 (9th Cir.2009) (“When reviewing an IJ’s denial of a continuance, we consider a number of factors, including: (1) the nature of the evidence excluded as a result of the denial of the continuance, (2) the reasonableness of the immigrant’s conduct, (3) the inconvenience to the court, and (4) the number of continuances previously granted.” (citations omitted)).

Rivas-Canas’ contention that the BIA violated due process by failing to provide a reasoned explanation for its decision is belied by the record.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
