Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Bernard Obi Effiom, a native and citizen of Cameroon,
petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’
(“Board”) order denying his motion to reopen his case sua
sponte. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2011). We lack jurisdiction
to review the Board’s refusal to exercise its sua sponte
authority to reopen and therefore dismiss the petition for
review. See Mosere v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 397, 400–01 (4th Cir.
2009).
Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for review. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DISMISSED
