U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-3128
and No: 08-1824
Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Wollman and Beam, Circuit
Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. Immigration Judge's findings
concerning petitioner's credibility were not clearly erroneous; BIA did
not err in denying petitioner's withholding-of-removal claim based on the
adverse credibility findings; substantial evidence supported the denial of
petitioner's claims under the Convention Against Torture; this court lacks
jurisdiction to review the BIA's denial of petitioner's motion to reopen as
petitioner did not seek timely review of the order; BIA did not abuse its
discretion in denying a motion to reconsider; the court lacks authority to
reinstate an expired period of voluntary departure, and petitioner's
request to reinstate the period of voluntary departure is denied.
