                                                                                      Clerk
   Gerardo Urbano,

                                                                                 Petitioner,

                                             versus

   Merrick Garland, U.S. Attorney General,

                                                                               Respondent.

                          Petition for Review of an Order of the
                              Board of Immigration Appeals
                                Agency No. A044 550 878

   Before Wiener, Elrod, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          Gerardo Urbano, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions this court
   for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying his
   motion to reopen his proceedings. He shows no error in connection with the
   BIA’s conclusion that he was ineligible for equitable tolling because he did
   not diligently pursue his rights. See Lugo-Resendez v. Lynch, 831 F.3d 337, 344

          *
              This opinion is not designated for publication, See 5th Cir. R. 47.5.
Case: 21-60912      Document: 00516602618         Page: 2   Date Filed: 01/09/2023

                                   No. 21-60912

   (5th Cir. 2016). Because diligence is a necessary component of an equitable
   tolling claim, we need not consider his remaining arguments concerning this
   claim. See id.; INS v. Bagamasbad, 429 U.S. 24, 25 (1976). Concomitantly,
   he has shown no abuse of discretion in connection with the denial of his
   motion. See Gonzalez-Cantu v. Sessions, 866 F.3d 302, 305 (5th Cir. 2017).
          We lack jurisdiction to consider his argument that the BIA erred by
   concluding that he failed to brief, and thus waived, any argument he may have
   had concerning the Immigration Judge’s conclusion that he was ineligible for
   a waiver of inadmissibility because it was not exhausted. See Martinez-
   Guevara v. Garland, 27 F.4th 353, 360 (5th Cir. 2022); 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1).
   The petition for review is DENIED in part and DISMISSED in part for
   want of jurisdiction.
