Luis Hernandez Santos v. Loretta E. Lynch

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Luis Hernandez Santos v. Loretta E. Lynch, 668 F. App'x 294 (9th Cir. 2016)

Luis Hernandez Santos v. Loretta E. Lynch

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Luis A. Hernandez Santos, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order affirming an immigration judge’s (“U”) decision denying his motion to reopen to reissue the IJ’s prior decision. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Hernandez-Velasquez v. Holder, 611 F.3d 1073, 1077 (9th Cir. 2010), and review de novo claims of due process violations, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA’s issuance of a summary affir-mance without opinion did not violate due process. See Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 851 (9th Cir. 2003).

We reject' any request Hernandez Santos makes that the court reissue the IJ’s January 19, 2012, order.

Hernandez Santos does not argue the BIA abused its discretion in denying his 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).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
