Hossain

MEMORANDUM **

Afsar Hossain, a native and citizen of Bangladesh, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order affirming the immigration judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We review de novo all questions of law with regard to the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”), but give substantial deference to the agency’s interpretation. Melkonian v. Ashcroft, 320 F.3d 1061, 1065 (9th Cir.2003). We dismiss the petition for review.

This Court lacks jurisdiction to review the IJ’s determination that no “extraordinary circumstances” excused Petitioner’s untimely filing of his asylum application, see 8 U.S.C. § 1158 (a)(2)(D), as this court is barred from reviewing any determination made by the IJ pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1158 (a)(2). See id. § 1158(a)(3); Molina-Estrada v. INS, 293 F.3d 1089, 1093 (9th Cir.2002).

This court also lacks jurisdiction to review Petitioner’s challenge to the IJ’s denial of withholding of removal and CAT relief because Petitioner did not raise these claims before the BIA or before this Court. See Hakeem v. INS, 273 F.3d 812 , 815 n. 2…
