Docket

*1 Before BARKSDALE, PRADO, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: [*]

Rosemeyere Dias-Faria, a native and citizen of Brazil, seeks review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) decision not to exercise its sua sponte authority to reopen her removal proceeding. In support, Dias claims: (1) the administrative record before the BIA was incomplete; (2) the BIA erred by not considering that the motion to reopen was unopposed; (3) it improperly found *2 Case: 16-60337 Document: 00514221132 Page: 2 Date Filed: 11/01/2017

No. 16-60337

she was not diligent in waiting 13 years to file the motion; and (4) it misidentified the relief sought.

This court lacks jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary decision not to exercise its sua sponte authority to reopen. Enriquez-Alvarado v. Ashcroft , 371 F.3d 246, 249–50 (5th Cir. 2004) (relying on Heckler v. Chaney , 470 U.S. 821, 830 (1985)). And, to the extent we would have jurisdiction to review legal or constitutional claims, Dias raises none.

As another basis for relief, Dias claims the BIA should have construed her brief as seeking equitable tolling of the period for filing a statutory motion to reopen. But, she did not exhaust this claim before the BIA. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to consider it. 8 U.S.C.A. § 1252(d)(1); Roy v. Ashcroft , 389 F.3d 132, 137 (5th Cir. 2004).

DISMISSED.
