ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,           MEMORANDUM *

              Respondent.

                     On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                         Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted February 9, 2012 **

Before: D.W. NELSON, O’SCANNLAIN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

       Pedro Manuel Perez-Higuera, Iliana Rosario Perez, and their son Cristian

Omar Perez-Gaxiola, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the

Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing their appeal from an immigration

without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
judge’s decision denying their applications for cancellation of removal. We have

jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process

violations in removal proceedings, Cruz Rendon v. Holder, 603 F.3d 1104, 1109

(9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition for review.

      Petitioners contend they were deprived of a full and fair hearing because the

immigration judge exhibited bias and hostility toward their counsel. Petitioners,

however, have failed to establish that the exchanges between the immigration

judge and counsel prevented them from reasonably presenting their case or

introducing testimony. See Cinapian v. Holder, 567 F.3d 1067, 1074 (9th Cir.

2009); Vargas-Hernandez v. Gonzales, 497 F.3d 919, 926-27 (9th Cir. 2007). In

addition, Petitioners have failed to demonstrate prejudice. Hassan v. INS, 927 F.2d

465, 469 (9th Cir. 1991).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
