Rodriguez v. Holder

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Celia Rodriguez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board *719 of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to reopen removal proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Rodriguez’s second motion to reopen as time and number barred where it was submitted more than two years after the November 19, 2004, final administrative decision. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2).

We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s decision not to invoke its sua sponte authority to reopen proceedings under 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a). See Ekimian v. INS, 303 F.3d 1153, 1159 (9th Cir. 2002).

Rodriguez’s remaining contentions are not persuasive.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
