Henri Thoka, Therese Djunkeu, and daughter, I.C.P.T., all natives and citizens of Cameroon, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying them motion for the Board to exercise its discretion to sua sponte reconsider the denial of them motion to reopen. It is undisputed that Petitioners did not file a timely motion to reconsider. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(2). However, under 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a), the Board has authority sua sponte to reconsider a case in which it issued a final decision, and Petitioners moved for the Board to exercise this discretionary authority. We have reviewed the record and conclude that we lack jurisdiction to review Petitioners’ claim that the Board should have exercised its discretionary authority to reconsider sua sponte. See Tamenut v. Mukasey, 521 F.3d 1000, 1004 (8th Cir. 2008) (en banc); Zhao Quan Chen v. Gonzales, 492 F.3d 153, 155 (2d Cir. 2007); Malty v. Ashcroft, 381 F.3d 942, 945 n. 1 (9th Cir. 2004); Harchenko v. INS, 379 F.3d 405, 410-11 (6th Cir. 2004); Enri-quez-Alvarado v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 246, 249-50 (5th Cir. 2004); Belay-Gebrn v. INS, 327 F.3d 998, 1000-01 (10th Cir. 2003); Calle-Vujiles v. Ashcroft, 320 F.3d 472, 474-75 (3d Cir. 2003); Luis v. INS, 196 F.3d 36, 40-41 (1st Cir. 1999).

We accordingly dismiss the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DISMISSED.
