removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss in part and
deny in part the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary good moral character
determination. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); see also Lopez-Castellanos v.
Gonzales, 437 F.3d 848, 854 (9th Cir. 2006) (no jurisdiction to review agency’s
discretionary good moral character determinations).
Venegas-Magallon fails to raise any argument in the opening brief with
respect to his motion to remand. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256,
1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues not supported by argument in the opening brief are
deemed abandoned).
In light of our disposition, we do not reach Venegas-Magallon’s remaining
contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
