In her opening brief, Bravo Leyva has failed to raise, and therefore has
waived, any challenge to the agency’s denial of her application for cancellation of
removal for failure to show the requisite continuous physical presence, good moral
character, and hardship. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th
Cir. 1996) (issues that are not specifically raised and argued in a party’s opening
brief are waived).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
