application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8

U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for substantial evidence, INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502

U.S. 478, 481 n.1 (1992), we deny the petition for review.

       The agency denied Gutierrez’s asylum claim as time-barred and denied her

withholding of removal claim based on an adverse credibility determination.

Gutierrez, who is counseled, does not raise any arguments in her opening brief

challenging the BIA’s time-bar finding or its adverse credibility determination.

See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues not

supported by argument are deemed waived). Accordingly, we deny her petition for

review.

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
