U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-1681
and No: 07-2339
Immigration & Naturalization Service
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Beam and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Petition for review - immigration. Court lacked jurisdiction to review
the denial of petitioner's request for cancellation of removal; Immigration
Judge did not err in finding petitioner had failed to prove that he was a
refugee and had failed to prove a well-founded fear of persecution based
on his clan membership; as petitioner did not meet the well-founded fear
of persecution standard for asylum there was no error in denying his
request for withholding of removal; similarly, petitioner failed to carry
his burden for relief under the Convention Against Torture; BIA did not
abuse its discretion in denying petitioner's motion to reopen and
reconsider.
