Maria da Conceicao SANTOS-NETA, Petitioner, v. Jefferson B. SESSIONS III, Attorney General, Respondent.
    No. 17-1607
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: October 17, 2017
    Decided: November 2, 2017
    Maria da Conceicao Santos-Neta, Petitioner Pro Se. Anthony Ogden Pottinger, Office of Immigration Litigation, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.
    Before NIEMEYER, KEENAN, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.
   Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Maria da Conceicao Santos-Neta, a native and citizen of Brazil, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying her motion to reopen. We have reviewed the administrative record and the Board’s order and conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion as untimely and number-barred. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (2017). We therefore deny the petition for review in part for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Santos-Neta (B.I.A. Apr. 7, 2017). We lack jurisdiction to review the Board’s refusal to exercise its sua sponte authority to reopen and therefore dismiss this portion of the petition for review. See Mosere v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 397, 400-01 (4th Cir. 2009).

Accordingly, we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for .review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED IN PART; DISMISSED IN PART
