MEMORANDUM
Rafael Garcia-Franco, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals, denying as untimely filed and numerically barred, petitioner’s second motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for abuse of discretion, Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 988 , 992 (9th Cir.2008), and we deny the petition for review.
Gareia-Franco contends that he merits cancellation of removal relief because his United States citizen children will experience the requisite hardship if he is removed to Mexico.
By not raising any arguments concerning the BIA’s dispositive determination that his second motion to reopen was numerically-barred and untimely, Garcia-Franco has waived any challenge to that determination. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir.1996). Moreover, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Garcia-Franco’s second motion to reopen as numerically-barred and untimely where the motion was filed over six years after the BIA’s final order. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2 (c)(2).
