Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted September 13, 2010 **
Before: SILVERMAN, CALLAHAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny
the petition for review.
The BIA adopted and affirmed the IJ’s decision including the IJ’s adverse
credibility determination. See Abebe v. Gonzales, 432 F.3d 1037, 1040 (9th Cir.
2005) (en banc) (where the BIA cites its decision in Matter of Burbano, 20 I. & N.
Dec. 872 (BIA 1994), and does not express any disagreement with any part of the
IJ’s decision, the BIA adopts the IJ’s decision in its entirety).
In her opening brief, Kaur fails to raise any challenge to the agency’s
dispositive adverse credibility determination. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94
F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues not specifically raised and argued are
deemed waived). Accordingly, Kaur’s asylum and withholding of removal claims
fail.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
