immigration judge’s order denying her application for cancellation of removal. We
have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review.
Corona Rivera waived any challenge to the agency’s decision pretermitting
her cancellation of removal application on physical presence and statutory
eligibility grounds by failing to raise these issues in her opening brief. 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.
