Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted December 14, 2016**
Before: WALLACE, LEAVY, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.
Agripina Iancu, a native and citizen of Romania, petitions for review of the
Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an
immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying her motion to reconsider the denial of
a motion to reopen her removal proceedings conducted in absentia. We dismiss

the petition for review.
Iancu concedes that the motion to reconsider was untimely and failed to
point out any errors of law or fact in the IJ’s denial of her motion to reopen, see 8
C.F.R. §§ 1003.23(b)(1)-(2), but contends the IJ erred and abused her discretion in
not construing her motion to reconsider as a request for sua sponte reopening, and
that the motion to reopen was based on exceptional circumstances rather than on
lack of notice. We lack jurisdiction to review these unexhausted contentions. See
Tijani v. Holder, 628 F.3d 1071, 1080 (9th Cir. 2010) (court lacks jurisdiction to
review legal claims not presented to the BIA).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
