Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Martha Mendoza, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an order of the Department of Homeland Security reinstating her prior expedited order of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law. Duran Gonzales v. DHS, 508 F.3d 1227, 1232 (9th Cir.2007). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
Mendoza's challenge to the reinstatement order is foreclosed by this court's decision in Duran Gonzales, as Mendoza concedes she filed her application for a waiver of inadmissibility well after Duran Gonzales became controlling law in this circuit. See 8 U.S.C. § 1255(a)(2), (i)(2)(A) (alien must be admissible to adjust status); Duran Gonzales, 508 F.3d at 1242 ("[Pjlaintiffs as a matter of law are not eligible to adjust their status because they are ineligible to receive 1-212 waivers [of inadmissibility].")
We lack jurisdiction to consider Mendoza's contention that her case warrants a favorable exercise of prosecutorial discretion. See Vilchiz-Soto v. Holder, 688 F.3d 642, 644 (9th Cir.2012) (order).
Mendoza's request to hold her case in abeyance pending a decision in Duran Gonzales v. DHS, 659 F.3d 930 (9th Cir.2011) is denied as moot.
Mendoza's remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
