                Respondent.

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

Before:         O’SCANNLAIN, TALLMAN, and BEA, Circuit Judges.

       Marine Avetisyan, a native and citizen of Armenia, petitions for review of

denial of a motion to reopen, Singh v. Gonzales, 491 F.3d 1090, 1095 (9th Cir.

2007), and we deny the petition for review.

      In her opening brief, Avetisyan fails to address, and therefore has waived

any challenge to, the BIA’s dispositive determination that she failed to demonstrate

due diligence. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996)

(issues not specifically raised and argued in a party’s opening brief are waived).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
