8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to
terminate. Dominguez v. Barr, 975 F.3d 725, 734 (9th Cir. 2020). We deny the
petition for review.
In her opening brief, Fernandez-Sanchez does not raise any challenge to the
agency’s denial of her motion for a continuance. See Lopez-Vasquez v. Holder,
706 F.3d 1072, 1079-80 (9th Cir. 2013) (issues not specifically raised and argued
in a party’s opening brief are waived).
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Fernandez-Sanchez’s
motion to terminate removal proceedings, where her challenges to the immigration
court’s jurisdiction are foreclosed by Karingithi v. Whitaker, 913 F.3d 1158, 1159
(9th Cir. 2019), and Aguilar Fermin v. Barr, 958 F.3d 887, 895 n.4 (9th Cir. 2020),
because she received a notice of hearing that included the time, date, and place of
the hearing.
The temporary stay of removal remains in place until issuance of the
mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
