United States First Circuit

A petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming the Immigration Court's decision to dismiss petitioner's application for cancellation of removal, is denied, where: 1) the BIA's correct application of the "stop-time" rule precludes the relief that petitioner seeks; 2) the Immigration Court did not abuse its discretion by denying petitioner's motion for an extension of time to file her application; and 3) a denial of a continuance cannot be a due process violation where there was no abuse of discretion.
