SAJJAD NASIR,

v.

ERIC H. HOLDER, JR., U. S. ATTORNEY GENERAL,

                                                  Respondent

                        Petition for Review of an Order of the
                           Board of Immigration Appeals
                                BIA No. A095 605 853

Before KING, JOLLY, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        Sajjad Nasir petitions for review of the order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (BIA) denying his motion to reopen. He does not contest the holdings
of the BIA that his motion is numerically barred pursuant to 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.23(b)(4)(ii) and, alternatively, that it is time barred pursuant to 8 U.S.C.
§ 1229a(c)(7)(C)(i); rather he argues that the BIA should have afforded him
equitable tolling based upon the ineffective assistance that he received from
prior attorneys or that it otherwise should have exercised its discretion to reopen

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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

                                 No. 11-60649

proceedings sua sponte pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2. We lack jurisdiction to
review the BIA’s refusal to reopen proceedings on these grounds. See Ramos-
Bonilla v. Mukasey, 543 F.3d 216, 219-20 (5th Cir. 2008). We need not address
the remainder of Nasir’s arguments pertaining to the merits of his motion to
reopen.
     Nasir’s   petition   for   review       is   DISMISSED     FOR     LACK     OF
JURISDICTION.
