               Respondent.

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

                             Submitted October 19, 2010 **

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

       Maria Eufemia Yoc-Pirir, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to

reconsider. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of

except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider, Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960,

964 (9th Cir. 2002), and we deny the petition for review.

      In her opening brief, Yoc-Pirir fails to address, and therefore has waived any

challenge to, the agency’s denial of her motion to reconsider as number–barred

under 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(2). See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-

60 (9th Cir. 1996).

      Yoc-Pirir’s remaining contentions are unavailing.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
