MEMORANDUM**

2
Jesus Guillen-Orellana, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissal of her appeal of the immigration judge's denial of applications for asylum and withholding of deportation.  The BIA based its dismissal on its conclusion that Guillen failed to file a timely notice of appeal with the BIA.

3
In her brief with this court, Guillen fails to address the timeliness issue, and instead argues that she should be granted asylum.  Because this "court's review is limited to the decision of the BIA," Elganer v. INS, 784, 787 (9th Cir.1991), we conclude that Guillen has waived her right to challenge the BIA's dismissal based on an untimely notice of appeal.  We will not consider Guillen's challenge to the immigration judge's denial of her asylum application.  Id.
