   MEMORANDUM

Luis Alberto Morales Millian, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) May 29, 2009, order and seeks to challenge the BIA’s July 3, 2007, decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA’s procedure in this case was not unfair because Petitioner had the opportunity, but did not take it, to seek review of the BIA’s denial of his application for asylum in 2007. See Pinto v. Holder, 648 F.3d 976, 986 (9th Cir.2011); Castrejon-Garcia v. INS, 60 F.3d 1359, 1361 (9th Cir.1995). Therefore, there was no denial of due process.

Even if the process was somehow defective, Petitioner suffered no prejudice because he had no plausible claim for relief. See Ramirez-Perez v. Ashcroft, 336 F.3d 1001, 1006 (9th Cir.2003).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
