1Opinion of the Court
Hamilton, Circuit Judge.
The issue in this petition for judicial review is whether the immigration judge abused her discretion by denying a motion to continue a removal hearing. Petitioner Yaya Toure concedes he is removable. He sought to delay his hearing so that he could belatedly seek lawful permanent residence based on his brief marriage to a United States citizen, a marriage that immigration authorities had investigated and found to have been a sham. Denial of his *405 request for a continuance was not an abuse of discretion, so we deny the petition.
