                          Petition for Review of an Order of
                          the Board of Immigration Appeals
                              Agency No. A075 786 650
                      ______________________________

   Before Smith, Southwick, and Douglas, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          Eloisa Herrera-Torres, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for
   review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) denying her
   motion to reconsider its dismissal of her appeal of a decision of an immigra-
   tion judge that she was ineligible for cancellation of removal and ordering her
   removed.

Case: 22-60532      Document: 00516735438          Page: 2   Date Filed: 05/02/2023

                                    No. 22-60532

           Herrera-Torres presents no contention concerning the reasons given
   by the BIA in its denial of her motion but instead raises a new argument chal-
   lenging the conclusion that her 2013 conviction disqualified her from cancel-
   lation of removal. Insofar as she challenges the denial of her motion to re-
   consider, Herrera-Torres has not shown that that ruling represents an abuse
   of the BIA’s discretion. See Gonzalez Hernandez v. Garland, 9 F.4th 278, 283
   (5th Cir. 2021), cert. denied, 143 S. Ct. 86 (2022). Insofar as she presents a
   new argument for our consideration, we lack jurisdiction over it because it
   was not first presented to the BIA. See Martinez-Guevara v. Garland,
   27 F.4th 353, 359–60 (5th Cir. 2022); 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1).
           The petition for review is DENIED in part and DISMISSED in
   part.
