ELIZABETH CORONADO FRANCISCO, 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NOT FOR PUBLICATION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: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.
Elizabeth Coronado Francisco, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying her second motion to reopen removal proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, and review de novo constitutional claims. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Francisco's motion as untimely and number-barred, where the successive motion was filed more than thirteen years after her removal order became final, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (motion to reopen must be filed within ninety days of final order of removal), and her possible eligibility for a new form of relief is not an exception to the filing requirements or time and number limitations, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3) (listing exceptions); see also Ocampo v. Holder, 629 F.3d 923, 928 (9th Cir. 2010). It follows that Francisco's due process claim fails. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (petitioner must show error and prejudice to establish a due process violation); Mendez-Alcaraz v. Gonzales, 464 F.3d 842, 844 (9th Cir. 2006) (declining to reach nondispositive challenges to a BIA order).
We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA's discretionary decision to not reopen removal proceedings sua sponte. See Mejia-Hernandez v. Holder, 633 F.3d 818, 823-24 (9th Cir. 2011).
