   MEMORANDUM

Esmeralda Bravo Leyva, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review.

In her opening brief, Bravo Leyva has failed to raise, and therefore has waived, any challenge to the agency’s denial of her application for cancellation of removal for failure to show the requisite continuous physical presence, good moral character, and hardship. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir.1996) (issues that are not specifically raised and argued in a party’s opening brief are waived).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 
      
       This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
