PER CURIAM:
Ramandeep Singh Bindra, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of an
order of the Board of Immigration Appeals denying, in relevant part, Bindra’s motion for
sua sponte reopening of his removal proceedings. Upon review of the parties’ briefs,
considered in conjunction with the administrative record and the relevant authorities, we
agree with the Attorney General that we lack jurisdiction to review this aspect of the subject
order.* See Lawrence v. Lynch, 826 F.3d 198, 206-07 (4th Cir. 2016) (reaffirming that this
court “lack[s] jurisdiction to review how the Board exercises its sua sponte discretion”).
Accordingly, we dismiss this petition for review for lack of jurisdiction. 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 DISMISSED
* In this court, counsel for Bindra expressly waives the argument advanced before
the Board that reopening was warranted under the changed country conditions exception
to the 90-day filing requirement. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(ii). Accordingly, Bindra
has forfeited our review of this aspect of the Board’s ruling. See Fed. R. App. P.
28(a)(8)(A); Ullah v. Garland, 72 F.4th 597, 602 (4th Cir. 2023) (explaining that a party
forfeits appellate review of those issues and claims not raised in the party’s briefs).
