Heading: BIA’s Consideration of the Record

Text: We have indicated that the BIA’s failure to review the facts of the case before it may violate a petitioner’s due process rights. See Mendoza, 327 F.3d at 1289 (holding that the BIA’s summary affirmance procedure does not violate an alien’s due process rights because the fact “[t]hat a one-sentence order was entered is no evidence that the BIA member did not review the facts of [the alien’s] case”). In this case, however, there is no evidence indicating that the BIA did not review the record. In fact, the BIA’s written opinion discussing the facts of Shamo’s case 5 indicates that the BIA did review the record. Therefore, we find this claim meritless. PETITION DENIED. 6
