PER CURIAM.

Lilian Angum Tah, a native and citizen of Cameroon, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying her untimely motion to reopen. We have reviewed the administrative record and Tah's claims and conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion. See Mosere v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 397, 400 (4th Cir. 2009). We therefore deny the petition for review in part for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Tah (B.I.A. Feb. 20, 2020). We lack jurisdiction to review Tah's challenge to the Board's refusal to exercise its sua sponte authority to reopen her proceedings. See Mosere, 552 F.3d at 400-01. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for review in part with respect to this claim. 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.

DENIED IN PART, DISMISSED IN PART.
