               Respondent.

                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted July 17, 2012 **

Before:        SCHROEDER, THOMAS, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.

       Maria Rivera-Marquez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review

of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to reopen.

Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of

discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988, 992

(9th Cir. 2008), and we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

       The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Rivera-Marquez’s motion to

reopen on the ground that it was time- and number-barred, see 8 C.F.R.

§ 1003.2(c)(2), and she did not establish changed country conditions in Mexico in

order to qualify for an exception to the filing limitations, see Toufighi, 538 F.3d at

996.

       We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s refusal to reopen Rivera-Marquez’s

proceedings sua sponte. See Mejia-Hernandez v. Holder, 633 F.3d 818, 823-24

(9th Cir. 2011).

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
