Karapetyan v. Holder

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Naira Karapetyan, a native and citizen of Armenia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to reopen. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Perez v. *732 Mukasey, 516 F.3d 770, 773 (9th Cir. 2008) and we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

Karapetyan failed to raise any challenge to the BIA’s denial of her motion to reopen. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues not specifically raised in opening brief are deemed waived). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review as to her motion to reopen.

To the extent Karapetyan challenges the BIA’s May 23, 2006 order dismissing her appeal from the immigration judge’s decision denying her asylum application, we lack jurisdiction because this petition for review is not timely as to that order. See Singh v. INS, 315 F.3d 1186, 1188 (9th Cir. 2003).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
