MEMORANDUM
In these consolidated petitions for review, Nasim Naif Majdoub, a native of Palestine and citizen of Israel, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reconsider (No. 05-76191) and his motion to reopen (No. 06-70188) proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for an abuse of discretion the agency’s denial of a motion to reopen and reconsider. Lara-Torres v. Ashcroft, 383 F.3d 968, 972 (9th Cir.2004), amended by 404 F.3d 1105 (9th Cir.2005). In No. 05-76191, we dismiss the petition for review, and in No. 06-70188, we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
With respect to petition No. 05-76191, lack jurisdiction to consider Majdoub’s contentions regarding the BIA’s June 9, 2005 order, because this petition for review is not timely as to that order. See Singh v. INS, 315 F.3d 1186, 1188 (9th Cir.2003). In Majdoub’s opening brief he fails to challenge the BIA’s September 7, 2005 order denying his motion to reconsider. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256 -60 (9th Cir.1996) (issues not raised and argued in opening brief are waived).
