    Summary Calendar
    Clerk
    Issis Yaselin Hernandez-Arguijo,
    Petitioner,
    versus
    Merrick Garland, U.S. Attorney General,
    Respondent.
    Petition for Review of an Order of the
    Board of Immigration Appeals
    Agency No. A096 175 814
    Before Jolly, Willett, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.
    Per Curiam:*
    Issis Yaselin Hernandez-Arguijo, a native and citizen of Honduras,
    petitions for review of the order by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)
    upholding the immigration judge’s denial of her motion to reopen. We lack
    jurisdiction to consider Hernandez-Arguijo’s challenge to the discretionary
    *
    Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this
    opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
    circumstances set forth in 5th Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

    No. 20-61131
    decision not to reopen her proceedings sua sponte. See Mejia v. Whitaker, 
    913 F.3d 482
    , 490 (5th Cir. 2019).
    Jurisdiction exists to review her arguments to the extent she contends
    that she was denied due process because the immigration judge disregarded
    her claims and did not act as a neutral arbiter. See 
    id.
     However, her due
    process arguments are unavailing and not cognizable because “no liberty
    interest exists in a motion to reopen.” 
    Id.
    Hernandez-Arguijo’s petition is DISMISSED in part for lack of
    jurisdiction and DENIED in part.
