PER CURIAM:
Yessenia I. Mondragon-Betanco, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (Board) order upholding the Immigration
Judge’s (IJ) denial of her motion to reopen sua sponte. Upon review, we conclude that we
lack jurisdiction to review the Board’s decision affirming the IJ and declining to reopen
sua sponte. See Lawrence v. Lynch, 826 F.3d 198, 206-07 (4th Cir. 2016); Mosere v.
Mukasey, 552 F.3d 397, 400-01 (4th Cir. 2009).
We therefore dismiss the petition for review. In re Mondragon-Betanco (B.I.A.
Feb. 1, 2022). 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.
DISMISSED
