MEMORANDUM **

Maria Delores Jebara-Sandobal, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s denial of her motion to reopen removal proceedings held in absentia. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, and review de novo questions of law. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.

In her opening brief, Jebara-Sandobal fails to raise, and therefore has waived, any challenge to the agency’s determination that she failed to demonstrate the due diligence required for equitable tolling of the filing deadline based on the alleged ineffective assistance of prior counsel. See Rizk v. Holder, 629 F.3d 1083, 1091 n. 3 (9th Cir. 2011) (issues not raised in a petitioner’s opening brief are deemed waived).

We reject Jebara-Sandobal’s contention that the agency’s removal order violated the due process and equal protection rights of her United States citizen child. See Urbano de Malaluan v. INS, 577 F.2d 589, 594 (9th Cir. 1978); see also Morales-Izquierdo v. DHS, 600 F.3d 1076, 1091 (9th Cir. 2010) (holding that “lawfully denying [the alien parent immigration relief] does not violate any of his or his family’s substantive rights protected by the Due Process Clause”).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
