U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

2 19-71986
questions of law. Corro-Barragan v. Holder, 718 F.3d 1174, 1177 (9th Cir. 2013).
We deny the petition for review.
In light of the court’s December 17, 2019, order dismissing the petition for
review as to Rodriguez-Alva’s cancellation of removal claim, we do not address
the cancellation of removal contentions raised in Rodriguez-Alva’s opening brief.
See Docket Entry No. 9 (dismissing petition for review as to cancellation of
removal claim).
Rodriguez-Alva’s contention that the agency violated his due process rights
by improperly denying voluntary departure fails, where Rodriguez-Alva did not
meet his burden to establish his eligibility. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246
(9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error to prevail on a due process claim).
On December 17, 2019, the court granted a stay of removal. The stay of
removal remains in place until issuance of the mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
