Manuel Mecinas v. Holder

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Fernando Manuel Mecinas and Dorotea Alvarez, natives and citizens of Mexico,

petition pro se for review of the Board of Immigrations Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying their motion to reopen removal proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

In their opening brief, petitioners fail to address, and therefore have waived any challenge to, the BIA’s denial of their motion to reopen. 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).

We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s December 11, 2006, order dismissing petitioners’ direct appeal because this petition for review is not timely as to that order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1); Singh v. INS, 315 F.3d 1186,1188 (9th Cir. 2003).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
