Asminda Ramon-Pedroza v. Eric Holder, Jr.

MEMORANDUM ** Asminda Sylvia Ramon-Pedroza, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying her applications for cancellation of removal, asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review. *464 Ramon-Pedroza failed to raise in her opening brief, and therefore has waived, any challenge to the agency’s dispositive determinations that she is removable and that she does not qualify for the relief requested. See Tijani v. Holder, 628 F.3d 1071, 1080 (9th Cir.2010) (noting the court generally will not “take up arguments not raised in an alien’s opening brief’). We lack jurisdiction to review Ramon-Pedroza’s contention that the IJ should have given her more time to pursue her case because she failed to raise that issue before the BIA, and thereby failed to exhaust her administrative remedies. See id. (no jurisdiction to review legal claims not presented in the petitioner’s administrative proceedings before the BIA). PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
