Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted November 19, 2013**
Before: CANBY, TROTT, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.
Nerissa Padilla Hanick, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to
reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We

review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Avagyan v.
Holder, 646 F.3d 672, 674 (9th Cir. 2011), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Hanick’s motion to reopen
where she failed to demonstrate her additional evidence was previously
unavailable. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1); Bhasin v. Gonzales, 423 F.3d 977, 984
(9th Cir. 2005).
In her opening brief, Hanick fails to raise, and therefore has waived, any
challenge to the BIA’s denial of her motion to reconsider as untimely. See Lopez-
Vasquez v. Holder, 706 F.3d 1072, 1079-80 (9th Cir. 2013) (a petitioner waives an
issue by failing to raise it in the opening brief).
Hanick’s remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
