                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted January 17, 2012 **

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).
dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have

jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review.

      In her opening brief, Garzon-Saavedro waived any challenge to the BIA’s

dispositive determination that her appeal was untimely. See Martinez-Serrano v.

INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues that are not specifically raised and

argued in a party’s opening brief are waived).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
