Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
In these consolidated petitions for review, Seung Choon Hwang and her family, natives and citizens of South Korea, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") orders dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision denying their application for adjustment of status, and denying their motion to reopen. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to continue, Sandoval-Luna v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243, 1246 (9th Cir.2008), and we review de novo claims of constitutional violations in immigration proceedings, Iturri-bania v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir.2003). In No. 07-71164, we deny the petition for review, and in No. 08-71300, we dismiss the petition for review.
The IJ did not abuse her discretion in denying a continuance on the ground that petitioners did not demonstrate good cause. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29 (an IJ may grant a motion for continuance for good cause shown); see also Sandoval-Luna, 526 F.3d at 1247 (IJ did not abuse discretion in denying a continuance where alien had no approved visa petition and no relief was immediately available). Petitioners' due process claim fails because they can not demonstrate prejudice. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir.2000) (requiring error and prejudice for a petitioner to prevail on a due process claim).
We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA's decision not to invoke its sua sponte authority to reopen proceedings under 8 C.F.R. § 1008.2(a). See Ekimian v. INS, 303 F.3d 1153, 1159 (9th Cir.2002).
The temporary stay of removal and voluntary departure confirmed by Ninth Circuit General Order 6.4(c) and Desla v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741 (9th Cir.2004), shall continue in effect until issuance of the mandate.
In No. 07-71164: PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
In No. 08-71300: PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
