*1 Before REAVLEY, PRADO, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: [*]
Sandra Libai Najera-Mejia, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions this court for review of the dismissal by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) of her appeal of an Immigration Judge’s denial of a motion to reopen proceedings in which she was ordered removed in absentia. Najera-Mejia argues that the BIA failed to consider the exceptional circumstances that warranted reopening of the proceeding.
*2 Case: 16-60704 Document: 00514241666 Page: 2 Date Filed: 11/17/2017
No. 16-60704
Due to her failure to brief any challenge to the BIA’s determination that her third motion to reopen was numerically barred from consideration pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(4)(ii), Najera-Mejia has abandoned any such challenge. See Soadjede v. Ashcroft , 324 F.3d 830, 833 (5th Cir. 2003) (citing Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner , 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). Additionally, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider Najera-Mejia’s challenge to the BIA’s wholly discretionary determination that her case did not present exceptional circumstances warranting sua sponte reconsideration. See Enriquez-Alvarado v. Ashcroft , 371 F.3d 246, 248-50 (5th Cir. 2004).
Accordingly, Najera-Mejia’s petition for review is DISMISSED, in part, for lack of jurisdiction and DENIED, in part.
