                          Board of Immigration Appeals

Before:        TALLMAN, M. SMITH, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.

       Adrian Rodarte-Rodarte, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review

discretion the agency’s denial of a continuance, Ahmed v. Holder, 569 F.3d 1009,

1012 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny the petition for review.

      The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Rodarte-Rodarte’s

request for a second continuance for failure to show good cause where he had

already been granted a continuance for the purpose of applying for humanitarian

reinstatement of his visa petition but had failed to do so during the continuance

period. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29 (IJ may grant a motion for a continuance for good

cause shown); Ahmed, 569 F.3d at 1012.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
