                     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.

       Anastacio Galvan-Felix a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for

review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ denying his motion to

reconsider the underlying denial of his application for cancellation of relief based

without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
on his failure to establish the requisite hardship to a qualifying relative. The BIA

denied the motion as untimely.

      Galvan-Felix contends that the BIA erred by not finding exceptional and

extremely unusual hardship to his United States citizen wife. Galvan-Felix also

contends that his due process rights were violated.

      Galvan-Felix has not raised any challenges to the BIA’s denial of his motion

to reconsider as 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 DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
