Teodora Rufino Torres v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Teodora Rufino Torres, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review.

In her opening brief, Rufino Torres fails to address, and therefore has waived, any *882 challenge to the BIA’s dispositive determination that her motion to reopen was untimely. See Rizk v. Holder, 629 F.3d 1083, 1091 n. 3 (9th Cir. 2011) (a petitioner waives an issue by failing to raise it in the opening brief).

In light of our disposition, we need not reach Rufino Torres’ remaining contentions.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
