removal proceedings conducted in absentia, and denying her request to remand.
We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the
agency’s denial of a motion to reopen or remand. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400
F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.
Because Hernandez Angeles has not challenged the agency’s conclusion that
her motion to reopen was untimely filed, she has waived this issue. See Rizk v.
Holder, 629 F.3d 1083, 1091 n.3 (9th Cir. 2011) (issues not raised in opening brief
are waived).
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Hernandez Angeles’ request
to remand, where she is statutorily ineligible for the relief she sought. See 8 U.S.C.
§ 1229a(b)(7).
In light of this disposition, we decline to reach Hernandez Angeles’
remaining contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
