Immigration Litigation, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington,
D.C., for Respondent.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Maria da Conceicao Santos-Neta, a native and citizen of Brazil, petitions for review
of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying her motion to reopen.
We have reviewed the administrative record and the Board’s order and conclude that the
Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion as untimely and number-barred.
See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (2017). We therefore deny the petition for review in part for
the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Santos-Neta (B.I.A. Apr. 7, 2017). We lack
jurisdiction to review the Board’s refusal to exercise its sua sponte authority to reopen and
therefore dismiss this portion of the petition for review. See Mosere v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d
397, 400-01 (4th Cir. 2009).
Accordingly, we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
PETITION DENIED IN PART;
DISMISSED IN PART
