Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Luis Aurelio Perez-Romero, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision denying his motion to reconsider its prior decision sua sponte. We dismiss the petition for review.

As Perez-Romero concedes, we lack jurisdiction to review his challenge to the BIA’s discretionary decision not to grant sua sponte reconsideration. Ekimian v. *956 INS, 303 F.3d 1153, 1160 (9th Cir. 2002); see also Mejia-Hernandez v. Holder, 633 F.3d 818, 824 (9th Cir. 2011) (this court lacks jurisdiction to review the BIA’s decision whether to reopen sua sponte).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
