Heading: Second Motion for Reconsideration

Text: An alien may file only “one motion to reconsider a decision that the alien is removable from the United States.” 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(6)(A); accord 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(2). Lopez-Ramirez tries to avoid that number bar by claiming, for the first time on reply, that her second motion for reconsideration was actually a “request for en banc review” that differed from a second motion to reconsider. (Reply Br. at 1-2.) But she did not raise that argument in her opening brief or contest on any other ground the BIA’s denial of her motion to reconsider as number-barred. She has thus forfeited any challenge to that denial. Patel v. Att’y Gen., 639 F.3d 649, 652 n.3 (3d Cir. 2011).
