U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-1936
Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Bye and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. When an IJ has determined that the
untimeliness of an applicant's asylum application was not excused by
exceptional circumstances or changed conditions within the meaning of 8
U.S.C. Sec. 1158(a)(2)(D), the court lacks jurisdiction to review the
applicant's asylum claim; with respect to petitioner's application for
withholding of removal, he failed to show that he was a member of a
particular social group, as his claim that he was part of a social group
made up of individuals who suffer gang violence did not qualify him as a
member of a particular social group; claim that he was also subject to
persecution because he is a member of the Mam ethnic group was raised for
the first time in this petition and would not be considered; claim that
the IJ was required to develop the record because petitioner spoke both in
Spanish and Mam rejected as it was not raised before the BIA and was not
exhausted; petitioner failed to present a case of willful non-intervention
by law enforcement sufficient to meet CAT requirements.
