--------

Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and McKEOWN, Circuit Judges.

Ali Asghar, a native and citizen of Pakistan, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's removal order and denying his motion to remand. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo constitutional claims and review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to remand. Castillo-Perez v. INS, 212 F.3d 518, 523 (9th Cir. 2000). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Asghar's motion to remand. Asghar contends that his due process rights were violated by the interpretation of his master calendar hearings into Urdu, rather than his native language of Hindko, but he has not established prejudice resulting from the alleged violation. See Perez-Lastor v. INS, 208 F.3d 773, 780 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring both error and prejudice to prevail on a due process claim based on an incompetent interpretation).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
