MEMORANDUM **

Jesus Antonio Ibarra-Monroy, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reconsider. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . Fernandez-Ruiz v. Gonzales, 468 F.3d 1159, 1163 (9th Cir.2006). We dismiss the petition for review in part and deny it in part.

Ibarra-Monroy’s petition for review is timely only with respect to the BIA’s February 23, 2006 order.
