            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this
   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
   circumstances set forth in 5th Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

                                     No. 22-60025

          Delmi Guevara-De Rivera, and her three minor children Kevin Isaac
   Guevara-Rivera, Yesli Adeli Guevara-Rivera, and Yuri Roxana Guevara-
   Rivera, all natives and citizens of El Salvador, petition for review of the denial
   by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) of their motion to reopen the
   removal proceedings for which Guevara-De Rivera was present. We review
   the BIA’s legal conclusions de novo and the BIA’s denial of a motion to
   reopen for abuse of discretion. Ramos-Portillo v. Barr, 919 F.3d 955, 958 (5th
   Cir. 2019).
          We have expressly rejected the petitioners’ arguments on review that
   a notice to appear without the date and time of the removal hearing deprives
   the immigration court of jurisdiction or is otherwise defective outside of the
   in-absentia or stop-time rule context. See Garcia v. Garland, 28 F.4th 644,
   646-48 (5th Cir. 2022). Thus, we need not address their arguments regarding
   equitable tolling. See INS v. Bagamasbad, 429 U.S. 24, 25 (1976). We lack
   jurisdiction to review the petitioners’ challenge that the BIA erred in failing
   to exercise its sua sponte authority to reopen their case. See Mejia v.
   Whitaker, 913 F.3d 482, 490 (5th Cir. 2019).
          The petition for review is therefore DENIED in part and
   DISMISSED in part.
