Mohammed v. Ashcroft
Mohammed v. Ashcroft
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Hamza Mohammed, a native and citizen
Because Mohammed failed to challenge the IJ’s adverse credibility finding in his opening brief, he has waived that issue. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996). Moreover, assuming Mohammed did not waive the issue, the record does not compel a contrary conclusion. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992).
Pursuant to Desta v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741 (9th Cir. 2004), Mohammed’s motion for stay of removal included a timely request for stay of voluntary departure. Because the stay of removal was continued based on the government’s filing of a notice of non-opposition, the voluntary departure period was also stayed, nunc pro tunc, to the filing of the motion for stay of removal and this stay will expire upon issuance of the mandate.
