  v.
                                                 MEMORANDUM *
ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,

              Respondent.

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

                             Submitted May 25, 2010**

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

       Reyna Macias, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the

Board of Immigration Appeals' ('BIA') order dismissing her appeal from an

immigration judge's removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. y 1252.

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

        **   The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
We review de novo questions of law, Nunez-Reyes v. Holder, 646 F.3d 684, 688

(9th Cir. 2011) (en banc), and we deny the petition for review.

      The BIA correctly determined that Federal First Offender Act ('FFOA')

treatment is not available for Macias's 'under the influence' conviction under Cal.

Health & Safety Code y 11550(a). See Nunez-Reyes, 646 F.3d at 695 (FFOA

exception not available for 'under the influence' convictions). As a result, Macias

is not eligible for cancellation of removal, see 8 U.S.C. y 1229b(b)(1)(C),

adjustment of status, see 8 U.S.C. yy 1182(a)(2)(A)(i)(II) and 1255(a), or voluntary

departure, see 8 U.S.C. y 1229c(b)(1)(B).

      Macias has waived any challenge regarding the sufficiency of the conviction

record. See Rizµ v. Holder, 629 F.3d 1083, 1091 n.4 (9th Cir. 2011) (contentions

not raised in the opening brief are deemed waived).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

                                          2                                   06-70228
