MEMORANDUM **

This is a petition for review from the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) denial of a second motion to reopen a previous denial of an application for cancellation of removal. We review this decision for an abuse of discretion. See Ray v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 582 (9th Cir.2006) (citing Singh v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 1182, 1185 (9th Cir.2004)). We conclude that the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reopen because petitioners’ motion was untimely, as well as number-barred, and the petitioners have not provided additional evidence to support an exception to the numerical or time limits for motions to reopen.

See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 *592 (9th Cir.1982) (per curiam) (stating standard).

As to petitioners’ request for sua sponte reopening, this court lacks jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary decision to deny sua sponte reopening of petitioners’ case. See 8 C.F.R. § 3.2 (a); Ekimian v. INS, 303 F.3d 1153…
