Appeal: 17-1245 Doc: 25 Filed: 11/07/2017 Pg: 1 of 2 UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 17-1245 KAYI GOUDEAGBE, Petitioner, v. JEFFERSON B.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. Appeal: 17-1245 Doc: 25 Filed: 11/07/2017 Pg: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: Kayi Goudeagbe, a native and citizen of Togo, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying her motion to reopen. Goudeagbe’s motion was untimely filed, and the Board declined to exercise its sua sponte authority to reopen her proceedings. We lack jurisdiction to review how the Board exercises its sua sponte discretion. See Lawrence v. Lynch, 826 F.3d 198, 206-07 (4th Cir. 2016); Mosere v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 397, 400-01 (4th Cir. 2009). We therefore dismiss the petition for review. 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 2
