UNPUBLISHED

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. Before DIAZ and RUSHING, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge. Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Ivan Yacub, Ilana Kramer, YACUB LAW OFFICES, Woodbridge, Virginia, for Petitioners. Jeffery Bossert Clark, Acting Assistant Attorney General, Shelley R. Goad, Assistant Director, Laura Halliday Hickein, Office of Immigration Litigation, Civil Division, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Kenia Johana Moncada-Cambar and her son (collectively Petitioners), natives and citizens of Honduras, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying their untimely and number-barred motion to reopen. On appeal, the Petitioners challenge 8 C.F.R. § 1003.15(b), (c) (2020) as ultra vires, arguing that the agency lacked the authority to define the term "notice to appear" differently from the statutory definition set forth in 8 U.S.C. § 1229(a). Because the Petitioners failed to exhaust this claim before the Board, we dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1) ("A court may review a final order of removal only if . . . the alien has exhausted all administrative remedies available to the alien as of right[.]"); Kporlor v. Holder, 597 F.3d 222, 226 (4th Cir. 2010) ("It is well established that an alien must raise each argument to the [Board] before we have jurisdiction to consider it." (internal quotation marks omitted)). 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 DISMISSED
