Mexican citizen Salvador Solis Ortega petitions for review of an order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals denying his motion for reconsideration as untimely.

Solis Ortega waived any challenge to the denial of his motion for reconsideration,
because he failed to advance any argument that the agency erred in denying the
motion. See Chay-Velasquez v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 751, 756 (8th Cir. 2004). He
also failed to administratively exhaust the issue raised in his brief. See 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(d)(1); Bakor v. Barr, 958 F.3d 732, 738-39 (8th Cir. 2020), cert. denied sub
nom. Bakor v. Garland, 141 S. Ct. 2566 (2021).
The petition is denied.
