ERIC H. HOLDER Jr., Attorney General,

             Respondent.

                     On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                         Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted May 25, 2010 **
                              San Francisco, California

Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

second motion to reconsider the underlying denial of his application for

cancellation of relief based on his failure to establish the requisite hardship to a

qualifying relative. The BIA denied the motion as numerically-barred and

untimely-filed.

      Hernandez-Hernandez contends that the BIA erred by not finding

exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to his two United States citizen

children. Hernandez-Hernandez also contends there is no rational basis for treating

aliens differently who apply for § 212(c) relief and for cancellation relief.

      Hernandez-Hernandez has not raised any challenges to the BIA’s denial of

his second motion to reconsider as numerically barred and untimely, and therefore

he has waived any challenge to that decision. See Martinez-Rios v. Holder, 94
F.3d 1256, 1259 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues not supported by argument in a brief are

deemed abandoned).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
