PER CURIAM:

Elsie Ina Doue, a native and citizen of Cameroon, petitions for review of an order

of the Board of Immigration Appeals denying her motion for sua sponte reopening or

reconsideration. Upon review of the parties’ briefs, considered in conjunction with the

administrative record and the relevant authorities, we agree with the Attorney General that

we lack jurisdiction to review the subject order. See Lawrence v. Lynch,

(4th Cir. 2016) (affirming that this court “lack[s] jurisdiction to review how the

Board exercises its sua sponte discretion”); Mosere v. Mukasey,

(4th Cir. 2009). Accordingly, we dismiss this petition for review for lack of jurisdiction.

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
