MEMORANDUM **

Francisco Alexander Calderon Quintan-illa, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying a continuance, and denying his motion to remand. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a continuance. Sandoval-Luna v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243, 1246 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review.

The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Calderon Quintanilla’s motion for a continuance where he failed to show eligibility for any relief, and it was undisputed that he was ineligible for status adjustment. See Id. at 1247 (no abuse of discretion where no relief was immediately available to the petitioner); 8 C.F.R § 1003.29 (IJ has authority to grant continuance upon showing of good cause).

Calderon Quintanilla failed to raise, and has therefore waived, any challenge to the BIA’s denial of his motion to remand. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, *297 1259 (9th Cir. 1996) (“an issue referred to in the appellant’s statement of the ease but not discussed in the body of the opening brief is deemed waived.”).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
