Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Marco Antonio Rodriguez Ponce and Rosia Rodriguez Ponce, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing their appeal from an im migration judge's ("IJ") order denying cancellation of removal based on a determination that they abandoned their applications. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we deny the petition for review.
In their opening brief, Petitioners do not challenge the BIA's determination that the IJ properly denied Petitioners a continuance and deemed their applications for cancellation of removal abandoned. Because those determinations form the basis of the BIA's decision, Petitioners waive any challenge to the BIA's order. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259 (9th Cir.1996).
Petitioners' contentions regarding continuous physical presence are unavailing because the BIA did not base its decision on that ground.
Petitioners' contention that the BIA inappropriately applied the summary affirmance guideline, 8 C.F.R. § 1003.1(e)(4)(A) and (b), is unavailing because the BIA did not summarily affirm.
The voluntary departure period was stayed, and that stay will expire upon issuance of the mandate. See Desta v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741, 750 (9th Cir.2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
