MEMORANDUM
Romana Martinez-Sandoval, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her motion to reconsider. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir.2005), and we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Martinez-Sandoval’s July 20, 2009, motion to reconsider under 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (b)(2) (“A party ... may not seek reconsideration of a decision denying a previous motion to reconsider.”).
We lack jurisdiction to consider Martinez-Sandoval’s ineffective assistance of counsel claim because she did not exhaust it before the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677-78 (9th Cir.2004).
We also lack jurisdiction to consider Martinez-Sandoval’s challenges to the agency’s underlying orders because this petition for review is not timely as to those orders. See Singh v. INS, 315 F.3d 1186, 1188 (9th Cir.2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
