under the substantial evidence standard, under which the record must not only support, but compel, the conclusion that the finding was in error. Lolong v. Gonzales, 484 F.3d 1173, 1178 (9th Cir.2007). 1. The BIA determined Petitioner was inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(E) and rejected Petitioner’s plea of necessity, pointing out that Petitioner had offered no legal authority to support her contention that necessity is available as a defense to inadmissibility based on admitted alien smuggling. We agree with this assessment. In any event, Petitioner has waived review of the BIA’s determination that she was inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(E) because Petitioner’s brief provided no argument to the contrary. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259 (9th Cir.1996) (<HOLDING>). 2. This court need not consider the
holding that issues raised but not supported by argument are deemed abandoned holding an issue is deemed abandoned and will not be considered on appeal if the argument is raised in a brief but not supported by authority holding that issues not raised in the initial brief on appeal are deemed abandoned holding that issues not raised in an initial brief on appeal are deemed abandoned holding that issues not raised in an appellants initial brief are deemed abandoned
