MEMORANDUM

Samir Hanna, a native and citizen of Egypt, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review.

In his opening brief, Hanna fails to address, and therefore has waived any challenge to, the BIA’s dispositive determination that he failed to establish due diligence to warrant equitable tolling of the filing deadline for his untimely motion to reopen. 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). In light of this disposition, we do not reach Hanna’s remaining contentions.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

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