MEMORANDUM **

Gabriel Nava Garcia, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions pro se for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

The Board did not abuse its discretion in denying Garcia’s motion to reopen because it was untimely and because it did not establish prima facie eligibility for relief. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c) (setting forth 90-day period for filing motion to reopen).

We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction Garcia’s challenge to the Board’s refusal to reopen proceedings sua sponte. Ekimian v. INS, 303 F.3d 1153, 1159 (9th Cir.2002).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
