MEMORANDUM **
Gerardo Rios Zamora, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judges decision denying his applications for cancellation of removal, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”), and denying his request to terminate proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to terminate, and we review de novo questions of law. Dominguez v. Barr, 975 F.3d 725, 734 (9th Cir. 2020). We deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Rios Zamoras request to terminate proceedings, where his contention that the immigration judge lacked jurisdiction over his proceedings is foreclosed by Aguilar Fermin v. Barr, 958 F.3d 887, 895 (9th Cir. 2020) (omission of certain information from Notice to Appear can be cured for jurisdictional purposes by later hearing notice).
In his opening brief, Rios Zamora does not raise any challenge to the agencys determinations that he did not establish eligibility for cancellation of removal, withholding of removal, or relief under the CAT. See Lopez-Vasquez v. Holder, 706 F.3d 1072, 1079-80 (9th Cir. 2013) (issues not specifically raised and argued in a partys opening brief are waived).
As stated in the courts June 14, 2019 order, the temporary stay of removal remains in place until issuance of the mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
