JUAN RISCAJCHE-GONZALEZ, No. 15-70548
Petitioner, Agency No. A205-877-966
v.
MEMORANDUM*
LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted September 27, 2016**
Before: TASHIMA, SILVERMAN, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
Juan Riscajche-Gonzalez, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions pro se
for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his
motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we deny the
petition for review.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
In his opening brief, Riscajche-Gonzalez does not raise, and therefore has
waived, any challenge to the BIA’s dispositive determination that it lacked
jurisdiction to consider his motion to reopen. See Lopez-Vasquez v. Holder, 706
F.3d 1072, 1079-80 (9th Cir. 2013) (a petitioner waives a contention by failing to
raise it in the opening brief).
In light of this disposition, we do not reach Riscajche-Gonzalez’ contentions
regarding eligibility for relief.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
