 v.                                             MEMORANDUM*

WILLIAM P. BARR, Attorney General,

                Respondent.

                     On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                         Board of Immigration Appeals

                          Submitted November 18, 2019**

Before:      CANBY, TASHIMA, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.

      Magaly Guadalupe Morales-Calderon, a native and citizen of El Salvador,

petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order

dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) denial of her motion to

reconsider the denial of her motion to reopen proceedings conducted in absentia.

             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
      **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of

discretion the denial of motions to reopen or reconsider, and review de novo

questions of law. Toor v. Lynch, 789 F.3d 1055, 1059 (9th Cir. 2015). We deny in

part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

      The agency did not abuse its discretion in denying Morales-Calderon’s

motion to reconsider, where she did not identify any errors of law or fact in the IJ’s

denial of her motion to reopen. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(2) (“A motion to

reconsider shall state the reasons for the motion by specifying the errors of fact or

law in the [IJ]’s prior decision and shall be supported by pertinent authority.”).

      To the extent the IJ erred in not considering the evidence Morales-Calderon

attached to her motion to reconsider, any error was rendered harmless by the BIA

also construing the motion to reconsider as a second motion to reopen based on

newly submitted evidence. See Singh v. Holder, 591 F.3d 1190, 1199 (9th Cir.

2010) (any error by the IJ was rendered harmless by the BIA’s de novo review of

the issue). Morales-Calderon has not raised, and therefore waives, any challenge

to the BIA’s denial of the motion, construed as a second motion to reopen, as

number-barred. See Lopez-Vasquez v. Holder, 706 F.3d 1072, 1079-80 (9th Cir.

2013) (issues not specifically raised and argued in an opening brief are waived).

      We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s denial of sua sponte reopening,

where Morales-Calderon has not raised a claim of legal or constitutional error

underlying the agency’s decision. See Bonilla v. Lynch, 840 F.3d 575, 588 (9th

Cir. 2016).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
