removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo
questions of law and claims of due process violations in immigration proceedings.
Simeonov v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 532, 535 (9th Cir. 2004). We deny the petition for
review.
Petitioners’ contentions that the agency erred and violated their right to due
process by not advising petitioners of the availability of asylum, withholding of
removal, and CAT relief fail where petitioners did not demonstrate apparent
eligibility for those forms of relief. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir.
2000) (error required to prevail on a due process claim); see also Valencia v.
Mukasey, 548 F.3d 1261, 1262-63 (9th Cir. 2008) (there is no requirement that a
noncitizen be advised of the availability of relief where there is no apparent
eligibility for it). We reject as unsupported by the record petitioners’ contentions
that the agency erred in analyzing their apparent eligibility for relief.
We do not consider the materials referenced in the opening brief that are
outside the administrative record. See Fisher v. INS, 79 F.3d 955, 963-64 (9th Cir.
1996) (en banc).
The temporary stay of removal remains in place until issuance of the
mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
