MEMORANDUM **

In these consolidated petitions for review, Amad Hossain, a native and citizen of Bangladesh, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for adjustment of status (No. 05-76904) and the BIA’s order denying his motion to reopen based on ineffective assistance of counsel (No. 06-73198). Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of constitutional violations in immigration proceedings, *Ram v. INS,*243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir.2001), and for abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen, *Iturribarria v. INS,*321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir.2003). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review in No. 05-76904 and deny the petition for review in No. 06-73198.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary denial of Hossain’s application for adjustment of status. *See*8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); *see also Bazua-Cota v. Gonzales,*466 F.3d 747, 748 (9th Cir.2006) (per curiam). Hossain’s contention that the agency failed to weigh the equities properly is not a colorable due process claim, and so does not confer jurisdiction. *See Bazua-Cota,*466 F.3d at 749.

Hossain contends that the IJ violated due process by exhibiting bias. Contrary to Hossain’s contention, the proceedings were not “so fundamentally unfair that [he] was prevented from reasonably presenting his case.” *See Colmenar v. INS,*210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).

*582We agree with the BIA that the performance of Hossain’s former counsel did not result in prejudice, and thus Hossain’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel fails. *See Rojas-Garcia v. Ashcroft,*339 F.3d 814, 826 (9th Cir.2003) (petitioner must show prejudice to prevail on an ineffective assistance of counsel claim). We do not consider Hossain’s contentions regarding his former counsel’s competence because the prejudice determination is dis-positive. Cf*. Maravilla Maravilla v. Ashcroft,*381 F.3d 855, 858 (9th Cir.2004) (per curiam) (BIA must address competence where prejudice is not dispositive).

No. 05-76904: PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.

No. 06-73198: PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
