CESAR OMAR CHAVEZ-JUAREZ, Petitioner, v. JEFFERSON B. SESSIONS III, Attorney General, Respondent.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

Agency No. A079-539-229 MEMORANDUM On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted August 7, 2018 San Francisco, California Before: THOMAS, Chief Judge, and HAWKINS and McKEOWN, Circuit Judges.

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). --------

Cesar Omar Chavez-Juarez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision finding him removable and denying his motion to suppress evidence and terminate proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo the denial of a motion to suppress, and claims of constitutional violations. Martinez-Medina v. Holder, 673 F.3d 1029, 1033 (9th Cir. 2011) (citations omitted). We deny the petition for review.

The agency did not err in denying Chavez-Juarez's motion to suppress evidence and terminate proceedings. Chavez-Juarez failed to demonstrate the evidence obtained from the search of his home, his identity, was obtained as the result of an egregious constitutional violation. See Lopez-Rodriguez v. Mukasey, 536 F.3d 1012, 1016-18 (9th Cir. 2008) (reasoning that the Fourth Amendment exclusionary rule, which does not generally apply in deportation proceedings, requires administrative tribunals to exclude evidence that was obtained by a deliberate violation of the Fourth Amendment or by conduct a reasonable officer should have known is in violation of the Constitution) (citing Gonzalez-Rivera v. I.N.S., 22 F.3d 1441, 1449 (9th Cir. 1994)). Rather, the record supports the agency's determination that Chavez-Juarez consented to the immigration officers' search of his home, and consented to speak with the officers.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
