denial of a motion to reopen, Singh v. Gonzales, 491 F.3d 1090, 1095 (9th Cir.
2007), and we deny the petition for review.
In her opening brief, Avetisyan fails to address, and therefore has waived
any challenge to, the BIA’s dispositive determination that she failed to demonstrate
due diligence. 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.
