   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-1352
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Wollman and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. The IJ did not err in determining 
   petitioner's asylum application was untimely and that it was not 
   reasonable for petitioner to file the application more than six months 
   late - see 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1158(a)(2)(D) which creates an exception for late 
   filings made within a "reasonable period of time following expiration of 
   lawful status;" petitioner abandoned most of his arguments that the 
   discrimination he suffered in Bangladesh constituted persecution for 
   purposes of withholding removal by failing to raise the issues before the 
   BIA; with respect to the one incident he did raise, the record fails to 
   show that the alleged acts rose to the level of persecution; further, 
   petitioner did not contest to the BIA the IJ's denial of CAT relief, and 
   that issue is also abandoned.
