GRIGORYAN v. SESSIONS III (2018)

MEMORANDUM **

Grigor Grigoryan and Liana Uzunyan, natives and citizens of Armenia, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision summarily dismissing their appeal of an immigration judge’s decision granting voluntary departure. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. 1252. We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to consider petitioners’ challenges to the BIA’s 2010 order denying their claims for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture, because this petition for review is not timely as to that order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1) (petition for review must be filed no later than 30 days after the date of the final order of removal); Pinto v. Holder, 648 F.3d 976, 986 (9th Cir. 2011) (a BIA order denying relief from removal, but remanding for voluntary departure proceedings, is a final order of removal); Rizo v. Lynch, 810 F.3d 688, 691 (9th Cir. 2016) (clarifying that Abdisalan v. Holder, 774 F.3d 517 (9th Cir. 2014), does not disrupt the Pinto line of cases).

In their opening brief, petitioners do not challenge the BIA’s 2013 order summarily dismissing their appeal. See Corro-Barragan v. Holder, 718 F.3d 1174, 1177 n.5 (9th Cir. 2013) (failure to contest issue in opening brief resulted in waiver).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
