   Before Davis, Duncan, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          Darlin Diana Portillo-Villanueva, a native and citizen of Honduras,
   timely petitions us for review of a decision of the Board of Immigration
   Appeals denying her motion to reconsider the denial of her motion to reopen
   and rescind her in absentia order of removal.

Case: 22-60317      Document: 00516677419          Page: 2   Date Filed: 03/15/2023

                                    No. 22-60317

          We review the denial of a motion to reconsider under an abuse-of-
   discretion standard. Gonzales-Veliz v. Barr, 938 F.3d 219, 226 (5th Cir. 2019).
   Under this standard, Portillo-Villanueva must identify either a “change in
   the law, a misapplication of the law, or an aspect of the case that the BIA
   overlooked.” Zhao v. Gonzales, 404 F.3d 295, 304 (5th Cir. 2005).
          We do not find that the Board should have granted Portillo-
   Villanueva’s motion. She waived her right to notice by failing to provide the
   immigration court with her correct address. Spagnol-Bastos v. Garland, 19
   F.4th 802 (5th Cir. 2021).
          We lack jurisdiction to consider Portillo-Villanueva’s argument that
   the Board should have exercised its sua sponte authority to reconsider her
   case. Qorane v. Barr, 919 F.3d 904, 912-13 (5th Cir. 2019).
          DENIED in part, DISMISSED in part.
