   MEMORANDUM

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.

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.
