On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted October 6, 2017**
Pasadena, California
Before: KLEINFELD, GRABER, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.

(BIA) order dismissing his appeal of an immigration judge’s denial of his

jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a). “Due process challenges to immigration
proceedings are reviewed de novo.” Zetino v. Holder,
622 F.3d 1007, 1011 (9th
Cir. 2010). “We review the factual findings underlying the BIA’s denial of CAT
relief for substantial evidence.” Vinh Tan Nguyen v. Holder,

1. To prevail on a due process claim, Ramirez must demonstrate prejudice.
Sanchez-Cruz v. INS,
255 F.3d 775, 779 (9th Cir. 2001). Ramirez has not argued,
however, that he suffered any prejudice from the BIA’s refusal to grant an
extension of his briefing deadline.
2. The BIA adopted the immigration judge’s finding that Ramirez failed to
establish a reasonable possibility of future torture by the Guatemalan government,
or by private actors with the government’s acquiescence. We conclude that
substantial evidence supports that determination.
PETITION DENIED.
