Opinion

No. 15-70859

08-02-2016

MINERVA LETICIA AVILES-OCAMPO, Petitioner, v. LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General, Respondent.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

Agency No. A205-712-814 MEMORANDUM On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Before: SCHROEDER, CANBY, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

Minerva Leticia Aviles-Ocampo, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge's order of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo legal claims, Simeonov v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 532, 535 (9th Cir. 2004), and deny the petition for review.

Aviles-Ocampo does not challenge the agency's dispositive determination that her petty theft with priors convictions constitute crimes involving moral turpitude that render her statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(B)-(C); Rizk v. Holder, 629 F.3d 1083, 1091 n. 3 (9th Cir. 2011) (issues not raised in an opening brief are waived).

We reject Aviles-Ocampo's contention that the BIA engaged in improper fact-finding in determining she was not eligible for cancellation of removal and declining to remand to the immigration judge.

In light of our disposition, we do not reach Aviles-Ocampo's remaining contention regarding whether her convictions constitute aggravated felonies. See Simeonov, 371 F.3d at 538.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
