Yu Zhao v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Yu Chen Zhao, a native and citizen of China, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

*725 In his opening brief, Zhao fails to address, and therefore has waived any challenge to, the agency’s determination that he abandoned his lawful permanent resident status. 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).

To the extent Zhao challenges the BIA’s December 16, 2008, order denying his motion to reopen, we lack jurisdiction because the petition for review is not timely as to that order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1); Andia v. Ashcroft, 359 F.3d 1181, 1183 n. 3 (9th Cir. 2004) (per curiam).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
