   MEMORANDUM

Navdip Singh Thind, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen. 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 Thind’s April 18, 2008, motion to reopen as untimely and number-barred because it was his third motion to reopen and was filed more than four years after the BIA’s final order of removal, and Thind has neither met any of the exceptions to the filing limitations nor attached an application for relief as required by regulation. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(e)(l)-(3).

We lack jurisdiction to review Thind’s contentions that prior counsel provided ineffective assistance and that Thind is eligible for relief under 8 U.S.C. § 1255(i) because he failed to raise these issues before the BIA and thereby failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir.2004).

Thind’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
