Sandra Teresa CALDERON-ACOSTA, Petitioner, v. John ASHCROFT, U.S. Attorney General, Respondent.
    No. 03-60978.
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Decided Aug. 2, 2004.
    John Diego Perez, Newark, NJ, for Petitioner.
    Thomas Ward Hussey, Director, Washington, DC, Kenneth L. Pasquarell, Acting District Director, San Antonio, TX, Caryl G. Thompson, New Orleans, LA, Jeffrey A. Clair, Washington, DC, for Respondent.
    John Ashcroft, Washington, DC, pro se.
    Before EMILIO M. GARZA, DEMOSS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Sandra Teresa Calderon-Acosta petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA’s) decision summarily affirming the immigration judge’s (IJ’s) denial of her motion to reopen her immigration proceedings contending that (1) she was erroneously held removable in absentia because she never received notice of the immigration hearing, (2) the reopening of her immigration proceedings was improperly denied because she made a prima facie showing of statutory eligibility for an adjustment in status to that of a permanent resident, and (3) the BIA’s summary affirmance denied her due process.

Calderon’s petition for review, however, was timely only with regard to the BIA’s denial of her motion to reopen and for reconsideration. See Stone v. INS, 514 U.S. 386, 395-98, 115 S.Ct. 1537, 131 L.Ed.2d 465 (1995). Consequently, we have jurisdiction to review only the issue whether the BIA abused its discretion in that regard. See Osuchukwu v. INS, 744 F.2d 1136,1141 (5th Cir.1984); Pritchett v. INS, 993 F.2d 80, 83 (5th Cir.1993).

Calderon has not briefed the propriety of the BIA’s ruling that her second request to reopen the immigration proceedings was an impermissible multiple motion, and, therefore, its review is waived. See Calderon-Ontiveros v. INS, 809 F.2d 1050, 1052 (5th Cir.1986). With respect to Calderon’s request to the BIA for reconsideration of its summary affirmance of the denial of her motion to reopen, she has failed to show that the BIA made an error of either fact or law on the record before it. See 8 U.S.C. § 1003.2(b)(l)(2003); Osuchukwu, 744 F.2d at 1143. Consequently, the denial of the request for reconsideration was not an abuse of discretion.

PETITION DENIED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
