JORGE ALBERTO SIERRA- No. 09-72598

Jorge Sierra Mondragon, Agency No. A092-655-421
Petitioner,
MEMORANDUM *
v.
ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted July 19, 2010 **
Before: B. FLETCHER, REINHARDT, and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges.
Jorge Alberto Sierra-Mondragon, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions
for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order summarily affirming an
immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
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.
