Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Claudia S. Orozco-Arroyo, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her request for a continuance. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review.

In her opening brief, Orozco-Arroyo fails to challenge the BIA’s dispositive conclusion that it lacked jurisdiction because she had waived her right to appeal pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 1240.26(b)(l)(i)(D) in order to obtain a 120-day grant of voluntary departure. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues not supported by argument in a party’s opening brief are deemed waived).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
