         Luis Adonay Guardado-Guardado and his two minor children, Luis
   Alonso Guardado-Orellana and Roxan Lisseth Guardado-Orellana, petition
   for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying
   their motion to reopen and terminate. We review the BIA’s decision “under

   a highly deferential abuse-of-discretion standard.” Garcia v. Garland, 28
   F.4th 644, 646 (5th Cir. 2022) (internal quotation marks and citation
   omitted).
          Citing Niz-Chavez v. Garland, 141 S. Ct. 1474 (2021), and Pereira v.
   Sessions, 138 S. Ct. 2105 (2018), the petitioners argue that their notices to
   appear failed to provide the immigration court with jurisdiction and violated
   their due process rights because the notices to appear did not state the date
   and time of their hearings. Circuit precedent forecloses the argument. See
   Castillo-Gutierrez v. Garland, 43 F.4th 477, 480 (5th Cir. 2022); Garcia, 28
   F.4th at 646-48. Because the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying this
   claim on the merits, we need not consider the petitioners’ argument
   regarding equitable tolling. See INS v. Bagamasbad, 429 U.S. 24, 25 (1976).
         We lack jurisdiction to consider the petitioners’ challenge to the
   BIA’s refusal to reopen their cases sua sponte. See Gonzalez-Cantu v.
   Sessions, 866 F.3d 302, 306 (5th Cir. 2017); Hernandez-Castillo v. Sessions,
   875 F.3d 199, 206-07 (5th Cir. 2017). Accordingly, we dismiss the petition
   for review in part due to lack of jurisdiction on the issue of sua sponte
   reopening and otherwise deny the petition.
          DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
