   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-1338
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Murphy and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. This opinion is being issued by Chief 
   Judge Smith and Judge Colloton pursuant to 8th Cir. R. 47E. The court 
   lacked jurisdiction to review the agency's decision with respect to the 
   timeliness of petitioner's asylum application; the evidence petitioner 
   presented to the BIA in support of his request to remand based on changed 
   country conditions was unlikely to have changed the result in the case and 
   was, therefore, immaterial; petitioner's argument that he should have been 
   granted humanitarian asylum was not presented to the agency and could not 
   be considered in this petition for review; the agency did not err in 
   determining that political progress toward democratic rule in Ghana made 
   it unlikely that petitioner would face future persecution or torture if he 
   were returned to Ghana, and the agency did not err in denying his 
   withholding of removal and CAT claims.
