   MEMORANDUM

Silvia Torres, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) decision which found that she was removable and that she had abandoned her application for cancellation of removal. We deny the petition.

Torres contends that the BIA erred when it determined that she had not established by clear and convincing evidence that she had been inspected and admitted into the United States, and, thus, that she was removable. We disagree. Because of her conflicting stories, and those of her witness, substantial evidence supported the BIA’s determination. See Husyev v. Mukasey, 528 F.3d 1172, 1177 (9th Cir.2008); see also INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 & n. 1, 112 S.Ct. 812, 815 & n. 1, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992).

Torres next argues the merits of her application for cancellation of removal, but ignores the fact that the merits of her application were not actually reached by the BIA, or the Immigration Judge (IJ), because they deemed her application to be abandoned. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.47(c), (d). Her failure to raise and brief the abandonment question before us has waived it. See United States v. Marcia-Acosta, 780 F.3d 1244, 1250 (9th Cir.2015). Moreover, the record demonstrates that despite ample time (and continuances) to enable her to obtain and present the required information, or show good cause for her failure, she did not do so. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.47(c), (d); see also 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(4)(B). The BIA did not err when it found abandonment.

Petition DENIED.
