173688P.pdf   12/12/2018  Maleni Gutierrez Molina  v.  Matthew G. Whitaker
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-3688
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Wollman and Colloton, Circuit Judges] Petition for Review - Immigration. Even if the Immigration Judge's action in stopping petitioner's counsel from proposing a particular social group at the close of the testimony was a fundamental procedural error, petitioner had failed to show any resulting prejudice as the IJ went on to analyze the claim based on membership in three social groups - family, family of police officers and opponents of gangs - and she failed to show the social group she claims she would have proposed - opponents of cartels - would have changed the analysis and outcome of the case; IJ's questions about petitioner's failure to report crimes to the police did not demonstrate a deep-seated antagonism that would preclude a fair judgment; two issues regarding humanitarian asylum and ineffective assistance of counsel were raised for the first time in this petition for review and the court lacked jurisdiction over the claims.
