   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3002
                          and No:  06-4127
   Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Petition for review - Immigration. Court lacked jurisdiction to review ruling that petitioner's asylum application was untimely; with respect to claim for withholding for removal, the Immigration Judge's finding that petitioner's testimony was not credible was entitled to deference as it was supported by specific, cogent reasons for disbelief; BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioner's motion to reconsider; petitioner was subject to the restrictions on asylum-only proceedings set forth in 8 C.F.R. Sec. 1208.2(c)(3)(i); as the IJ did not have jurisdiction to consider an adjustment of status in this asylum-only proceeding, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying petitioner's motion to reopen the proceedings for that purpose.
