TEODORA RUFINO TORRES, Petitioner, v. ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION


MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.


On Petition for Review of an Order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals

Before: RAWLINSON, MURGUIA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.

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 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.
