United States Sixth Circuit

Petition for review a decision of the BIA affirming an IJ's denial of a Korean citizen's application for a continuance of proceedings and entering an order of removal is denied where: 1) the BIA's conclusion that the IJ did not abuse its discretion in denying the continuance was consistent with prior jurisprudence; 2) the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying the request for continuance despite the pendency of petitioner's I-601; 3) BIA did not abuse its discretion by considering the number and length of the continuances granted throughout petitioner's exclusion proceedings; and 4) BIA did not abuse its discretion in relying, in part, on the DHS's opposition to a continuance.
