   MEMORANDUM

Ignacio Martinez-Torres, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se 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 deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

Martinez-Torres does not raise, and has . therefore waived, any challenge to the BIA’s denial of his motion to reopen as time- and number-barred. See Corro-Barragan v. Holder, 718 F.3d 1174, 1177 n.5 (9th Cir. 2013) (failure to contest issue in opening brief resulted in waiver). To the extent Martinez-Torres contends the BIA should have exercised its sua sponte authority to reopen his case, we lack jurisdiction to consider this contention. See Mejia-Hernandez v. Holder, 633 F.3d 818, 823-24 (9th Cir. 2011); cf. Bonilla v. Lynch, 840 F.3d 575, 588 (9th Cir. 2016).

To the extent Martinez-Torres challenges the BIA’s December 13, 2011 order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for cancellation of removal, we lack jurisdiction to consider that contention, because this petition is not timely as to that order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1); Singh v. INS, 315 F.3d 1186, 1188 (9th Cir. 2003).

We lack jurisdiction to consider Martinez-Torres’ request for prosecutorial discretion. See Vilchiz-Soto v. Holder, 688 F.3d 642, 644 (9th Cir. 2012) (order).

We do not consider the extra-record documentation that Martinez-Torres submitted with his opening brief. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(A)(judicial review is limited to the administrative record); Dent v. Holder, 627 F.3d 365, 371 (9th Cir. 2010) (stating standard of review for out-of-record evidence).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
