Opinion

EDUARDO MIZAEL PANTALEON-SIERRA, Petitioner, v. JEFFERSON B. SESSIONS III, Attorney General, Respondent.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

Agency No. A042-344-990 MEMORANDUM On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Before: LEAVY, M. SMITH, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

Eduardo Mizael Pantaleon-Sierra, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying his motion to reopen. We dismiss the petition for review.

Our jurisdiction to review the agency's decision denying sua sponte reopening is limited to reviewing for error its legal or constitutional basis. Bonilla v. Lynch, 840 F.3d 575, 588 (9th Cir. 2016). Pantaleon-Sierra's contention that the agency did not address his due process claims is not supported, and thus does not raise a colorable legal or constitutional claim to invoke jurisdiction. See id.; INS v. Abudu, 485 U.S. 94, 105 (1988) (in motion to reopen cases in which the ultimate grant of relief is discretionary the BIA can determine that, even considering the newly proffered evidence, the movant would not be entitled to the discretionary grant of relief).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
