LEVAL, 8 PETER W. HALL, 9 MICHAEL H. PARK, 10 Circuit Judges. 11 _____________________________________ 12 13 JENNIFA JOSHUE, AKA JENNIFER 14 JOSHUA, 15 Petitioner, 16 17 v. 18-58 18 NAC 19 WILLIAM P. BARR, UNITED STATES 20 ATTORNEY GENERAL, 21 Respondent. 22 _____________________________________ 23 24 FOR PETITIONER: Paul B. Grotas, Esq., New York, 25 NY. 26 27 FOR RESPONDENT: Joseph H. Hunt, Assistant Attorney 28 General; Stephen J. Flynn, 29 Assistant Director; James A. 30 Hurley, Trial Attorney, Office of 31 Immigration Litigation, United 1 States Department of Justice, 2 Washington, DC. 3 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a 4 Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby 5 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review 6 is DENIED. 7 Petitioner Jennifa Joshue, a native and citizen of St. 8 Lucia, seeks review of a January 4, 2018, decision of the BIA 9 denying her second motion to reopen.

Although Joshue’s arguments implicate constitutional 18 issues and questions of law, none of her challenges to the 19 time and number limitation on her motion have merit. And we 20 lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s decision not to reopen 21 sua sponte. 2 1 An alien seeking to reopen proceedings may file only one 2 motion to reopen no later than 90 days after the final 3 administrative decision. 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(A), (C)(i); 4 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2). There is no dispute that Joshue’s 5 2017 motion was her second motion to reopen and was untimely 6 filed 15 years after her removal order. None of the statutory 7 and ...
