Pablo Roberto Ortega petitions for review of a decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying Ortega’s motion to reopen his removal proceedings. He argues that the BIA should have reopened his removal proceedings in order to allow him to pursue relief under § 212(c) and (h) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

This court lacks jurisdiction to consider Ortega’s argument that the BIA should have reopened his case pursuant to the BIA’s sua sponte authority. See Enriquez-Alvarado v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 246, 250 (5th Cir. 2004). Ortega’s contention that this court has the authority to examine sua sponte whether relief under INA § 212(c) and (h) is available to Ortega lacks merit. Moreover, Ortega has failed to brief any other cognizable issues regarding the BIA’s decision. See Soadjede v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 830, 833 (5th Cir. 2003). Accordingly, Ortega’s petition for review of the BIA’s decision is DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
