NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JUN 22 2022 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JUAN JOSE MORALES-BARRERA, No. 15-73380 Petitioner, Agency No. A088-673-241 v. MEMORANDUM* MERRICK B. GARLAND, Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted June 15, 2022** Before: SILVERMAN, WATFORD, and FORREST, Circuit Judges. Juan Jose Morales-Barrera, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). We lack jurisdiction to consider Morales-Barrera’s contentions as to the merits of his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture, because he did not timely petition for review as to that order.1 See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1) (“The petition for review must be filed not later than 30 days after the date of the final order of removal.”). In his opening brief, Morales-Barrera does not raise and therefore waives any challenge to the agency’s denial of his motion to reopen. 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). We do not consider the materials Morales-Barrera includes in his opening brief that are not part of the administrative record. See Fisher v. INS, 79 F.3d 955, 963-64 (9th Cir. 1996) (en banc). The temporary stay of removal remains in place until issuance of the mandate. The motion for a stay of removal is otherwise denied. PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part. 1 Morales-Barrera states in his opening brief that a separate petition appealing the denial of the BIA’s motion to reopen has been filed. As of now, the court has no record of another petition for review from Morales-Barrera. 2 15-73380 15-73380 Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ca9 9th Cir. Juan Morales-Barrera v.
