PER CURIAM:
Allaudin Ahmad Rana, a native and citizen of Pakistan, petitions for review of an
order of the Board of Immigration Appeals denying Rana’s motion for sua sponte
reopening or reconsideration. Upon review of the parties’ briefs, considered in conjunction
with the administrative record and the relevant authorities, we agree with the Attorney
General that we lack jurisdiction to review the subject order. See Lawrence v. Lynch, 826
F.3d 198, 206-07 (4th Cir. 2016) (affirming that this court “lack[s] jurisdiction to review
how the Board exercises its sua sponte discretion”); Mosere v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 397,
400-01 (4th Cir. 2009). Accordingly, we dismiss this petition for review for lack of
jurisdiction. 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
