PARKER, 9 DEBRA ANN LIVINGSTON, 10 Circuit Judges. 11 _____________________________________ 12 13 TEODORA HERNANDEZ-BAUTISTA, 14 Petitioner, 15 16 v. 14-4247 17 NAC 18 19 WILLIAM P. BARR, UNITED STATES 20 ATTORNEY GENERAL, 21 Respondent. 22 _____________________________________ 23 24 FOR PETITIONER: Mark J. Devine, Charleston, SC. 25 26 FOR RESPONDENT: Chad A. Readler, Acting Assistant 27 Attorney General; Leslie McKay, 28 Senior Litigation Counsel; Siu P. 29 Wong, Trial Attorney, Office of 30 Immigration Litigation, United 31 States Department of Justice, 32 Washington, DC. 1 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a 2 Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby 3 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review 4 is DENIED in part and DISMISSED in part. 5 Petitioner Teodora Hernandez-Bautista, a native and 6 citizen of Mexico, seeks review of an October 17, 2014, 7 decision of the BIA denying her motion to reopen.

See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(ii) 20 (exception for asylum); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3) (listing 21 exceptions). Accordingly, the only basis for reopening was 2 1 the BIA’s authority to reopen sua sponte. 2 The BIA has authority to reopen sua sponte despite the 3 time and number limitations, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a), but we 4 lack jurisdiction to review the “entirely discretionary” 5 decision declining to do so, ...
