Full Opinion
MEMORANDUM ** Satbir Singh Randhawa seeks review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen deportation proceedings. We dismiss the petition for review. Randhawa concedes that his motion to reopen was untimely and number barred and contends that the BIA should have reopened his proceedings sua sponte to correct a miscarriage of justice. We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s decision not to invoke its sua sponte authority to reopen proceedings under 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (a). See Ekimian v. INS, 303 F.3d 1153, 1159 (9th Cir.2002) (noting that “the decision of the BIA whether to invoke its sua sponte authority is committed to its unfettered discretion”). PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED. This disposition, is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
