Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Domingo Nunez-E spinoza, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order summarily dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision denying his motion for a continuance and his applications for a waiver under former Immigration and Nationality Act § 212(c) and for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion for continuance, Nakamoto v. Ashcroft, 363 F.3d 874, 883 n. 6 (9th Cir.2004), and review de novo questions of law, Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000). We deny the petition for review.
The IJ did not abuse his discretion in denying Nunez-Espinoza's motion for a continuance because Nunez-E spinoza did not establish good cause for failing to provide his fingerprints as ordered, and the IJ warned him that failure to comply would result in the denial of his applications. See Sandoval-Luna v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243, 1246-47 (9th Cir.2008); cf. Cui v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 1289, 1293-95 (9th Cir.2008). It follows that Nunez-Espinoza's due process claim fails. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir.2000) (requiring error to establish a due process violation).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
