TLAXCALA v. WHITAKER (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Miguel Alejandrez TLAXCALA, Petitioner, v. Matthew G. WHITAKER, Acting Attorney General, Respondent.

No. 18-1603

Decided: February 12, 2019

Before WILKINSON, KEENAN, and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges.

Mark J. Devine, Charleston, South Carolina, for Petitioner. Joseph H. Hunt, Assistant Attorney General, John S. Hogan, Assistant Director, Lindsay C. Corliss, Trial Attorney, Office of Immigration Litigation, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Miguel Alejandrez Tlaxcala, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal from the decision of the immigration judge (“IJ”) granting the Attorney General’s motion to recalendar Tlaxcala’s case and denying Tlaxcala’s motion for a continuance. We deny the petition for review.

We have reviewed the record and Tlaxcala’s arguments and conclude that the IJ did not abuse his discretion by recalendaring the case and denying the motion for a continuance. Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED

PER CURIAM:

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
