Marine Avetisyan v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit October 25, 2010

Marine Avetisyan v. Eric H. Holder Jr., 400 F. App'x 300 (9th Cir. 2010)

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Marine Avetisyan, a native and citizen of Armenia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Singh v. Gonzales, 491 F.3d 1090, 1095 (9th Cir. 2007), and we deny the petition for review.

In her opening brief, Avetisyan fails to address, and therefore has waived any challenge to, the BIA’s dispositive determination that she failed to demonstrate due diligence. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues not specifically raised and argued in a party’s opening brief are 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.
