MARIA CARMEN CORONEL-ORTIZ, Petitioner, v. ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
MEMORANDUM
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Before: LEAVY, PAEZ, and BEA, Circuit Judges.
Maria Carmen Coronel-Diaz, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals denying, as untimely and numerically-barred, her second motion to reopen removal proceedings. The BIA declined to exercise its sua sponte authority to reopen under 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a).
Coronel-Diaz argues that the BIA should have sua sponte reopened removal proceedings, and should have excused her untimely and numerically-barred motion to reopen.
We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA's discretionary decision whether to exercise its sua sponte authority to reopen under § 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a). See Ekimian v. INS, 303 F.3d 1153, 1159-60 (9th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, we dismiss Coronel-Diaz's petition for lack of jurisdiction.
DISMISSED.
