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

Before:          GOODWIN, WALLACE, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.

granting voluntary departure. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We

review de novo questions of law, including claims of due process violations in

immigration proceedings. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir.

2005). We deny the petition for review.

        We agree with the BIA that Rivera-Wheeler failed to demonstrate that the

conduct of proceedings resulted in prejudice. See Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967,

971 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring prejudice to prevail on a due process challenge).

        Rivera-Wheeler’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

        PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
