Jarnail Singh v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit January 6, 2011

Jarnail Singh v. Eric H. Holder Jr., 408 F. App'x 30 (9th Cir. 2011)

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Jarnail Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order deny *31 ing his motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review.

In his opening brief, Singh fails to address, and therefore has waived any challenge to, the BIA’s dispositive determination that he failed to establish due diligence to warrant equitable tolling of the filing deadline for his untimely 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).

In light of this disposition, we do not reach Singh’s remaining contentions.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

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