PER CURIAM:
Calister Simangwi, a native and citizen of Cameroon,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) denying her motion to reopen. We have
reviewed the administrative record and the Board’s order and
find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the
motion to reopen as untimely and number-barred. See 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(c)(2) (2013). We therefore deny the petition for
review in part for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re:
Simangwi (B.I.A. Mar. 13, 2013). We lack jurisdiction to review
the Board’s refusal to exercise its sua sponte authority to
reopen and therefore dismiss this portion of the petition for
review. See Mosere v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 397, 400-01 (4th Cir.
2009). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
PETITION DENIED IN PART
AND DISMISSED IN PART
