POOLER, 10 WILLIAM J. NARDINI, 11 Circuit Judges. 12 _____________________________________ 13 14 YING LIN, 15 Petitioner, 16 17 v. 21-6370 18 NAC 19 MERRICK B. GARLAND, UNITED 20 STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL, 21 Respondent. 22 _____________________________________ 23 24 FOR PETITIONER: Edward J. Cuccia, Esq., New York, 25 NY. 26 27 FOR RESPONDENT: Brian Boynton, Principal Deputy 28 Assistant Attorney General; Keith 1 I. McManus, Assistant Director; 2 Edward C. Durant, Attorney, Office 3 of Immigration Litigation, United 4 States Department of Justice, 5 Washington, DC. 6 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a 7 Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby 8 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review 9 is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. 10 Petitioner Ying Lin, a native and citizen of the People’s 11 Republic of China, seeks review of a May 27, 2021, decision 12 of the BIA affirming a July 16, 2018, decision of an 13 Immigration Judge (“IJ”) denying her second untimely motion 14 to reopen her removal proceedings to apply to adjust status. 15 In re Ying Lin, No. A077 281 342 (B.I.A.

In 2018, she filed a second 21 motion to reopen to pursue adjustment of status. We 22 generally review the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen for 23 abuse of discretion. Ali v. Gonzales, 448 F.3d 515, 517 (2d 24 Cir. 2006). However, Lin does not dispute that her motion 2 1 was time and number barred, see 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(A), 2 (C)(i), or allege any exception to those limitations. 3 Accordingly, the only basis for reopening was the BIA’s 4 authority to reopen sua sponte under 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a). 5 See Li Chen v.
