Submitted July 19, 2010**
Before: B. FLETCHER, REINHARDT, and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges.

We review de novo questions of law, Vasquez-Zavala v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 1105,
1107 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.
Sierra-Mondragon failed to raise in his opening brief, and has therefore
waived, any challenge to the agency’s determination that his 2008 conviction was
an aggravated felony. Husyev v. Mukasey, 528 F.3d 1172, 1183 (9th Cir. 2008).
The agency’s aggravated felony determination renders Sierra-Mondragon
ineligible for section 212(c) relief. 8 C.F.R. § 1212.3(f)(4).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
