DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT TEODORO GUERRERO-VENEGAS, AKA Juan Pablo Quinones-Guerrero, No. 15-70914 Agency No. A200-946-850 Petitioner, MEMORANDUM* v. LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted September 13, 2016** Before: HAWKINS, N.R. SMITH, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges. Teodoro Guerrero-Venegas, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). questions of law. Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003). We deny the petition for review. Guerrero-Venegas’ contention that the agency violated its own regulations governing the pleading stage of proceedings fails for lack of prejudice, because he does not dispute the factual basis for removability. See Kohli v. Gonzales, 473 F.3d 1061, 1066 (9th Cir. 2007) (petitioner must demonstrate that he was prejudiced by the agency’s violation of its own regulation); 8 C.F.R. § 1240.10. We reject Guerrero-Venegas’ contention that the BIA issued an order of removal in the first instance. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 15-70914
