U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-3003
Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Bowman and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. The court lacked jurisdiction to
review the BIA's determination that petitioner failed to file a timely
asylum application; an applicant may not establish a derivative claim for
withholding of removal based on the applicant's child's fear of
persecution; here petitioner could not establish that she was eligible for
withholding of removal based on a claim that her daughters will be
subjected to Female Genital Mutilation if they returned to the Republic of
The Gambia.
