GLENDA YAMILETH GUTIERREZ DE No. 07-72855 LA O, a.k.a. Glenda Y Gutierrez,

Agency No. A094-330-199 Petitioner,

v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER Jr., Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted February 16, 2010 **

Before: FERNANDEZ, GOULD, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

Glenda Yamileth Gutierrez De La O (“Gutierrez”), a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her

*

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for substantial evidence, INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 n.1 (1992), we deny the petition for review.

The agency denied Gutierrez’s asylum claim as time-barred and denied her withholding of removal claim based on an adverse credibility determination. Gutierrez, who is counseled, does not raise any arguments in her opening brief challenging the BIA’s time-bar finding or its adverse credibility determination. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues not supported by argument are deemed waived). Accordingly, we deny her petition for review.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
