Fabiola Chino Tecongo, E.J.C.C., Appellants Pro Se. Lynda Do, Ann M. Welhaf, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Fabiola Chino Tecongo and her minor child, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition
for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) declining to consider
their appeal by certification pursuant to
8 C.F.R. § 1003.1(c) (2021) and dismissing the
appeal as untimely. Because we lack jurisdiction to review the Board’s refusal to exercise
its discretionary authority to certify the case, we dismiss the petition for review. See
Abdulla v. Att’y Gen.,
971 F.3d 409, 414(3d Cir. 2020) (“[C]oncluding that, as a general
matter, we lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s decision not to self-certify an appeal” and
collecting cases). 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
