Tao Yang, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) denial of his third motion to reopen his 1999 removal proceedings. Yang sought to have the BIA reopen the proceedings pursuant to its sua sponte authority in 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a). The BIA determined that Yang’s motion was time and number barred, that ineffective assistance could not excuse his failure *443 to file a timely motion to reopen, and that equitable tolling was not warranted because Yang had not exercised due diligence. Yang argues that the BIA erred in denying the motion because he established exceptional circumstances based on ineffective assistance of counsel. He also asserts that the time and number limitations should be equitably tolled due to the ineffective assistance of counsel.

Because the BIA has complete discretion in deciding whether to reopen removal proceedings sua sponte, see § 1003.2(a), there is no meaningful standard against which to review this decision, and this court lacks jurisdiction over it. See Enriquez-Alvarado v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 246, 249-50 (5th Cir. 2004). Even if equitable tolling applies to motions to reopen and Yang’s equitable tolling arguments could be considered, he has not established that the BIA abused its discretion in holding that he was not entitled to equitable tolling because he had not shown due diligence. See Manzano-Garcia v. Gonzales, 413 F.3d 462, 469 (5th Cir. 2005).

The petition for review is DENIED.
