PER CURIAM:

          Mona Mohammed Abdu, a native and citizen of Ethiopia,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (Board) denying as untimely and numerically barred her

motion to reopen immigration proceedings.     We have reviewed the

record and the Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse

its discretion in denying the motion to reopen.       See Barry v.

Gonzales, 445 F.3d 741, 744 (4th Cir. 2006).       Further, we lack

jurisdiction to review the Board’s refusal to invoke its sua sponte

authority to reopen proceedings.    See Zhao Quon Chen v. Gonzales,

492 F.3d 153, 155 (2d Cir. 2007).   Accordingly, we deny in part and

dismiss in part the petition for review.     We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.

                                            PETITION DENIED IN PART
                                              AND DISMISSED IN PART

                              - 2 -
