Levi Mboni v. Loretta Lynch
Opinion
Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Levi Mbawe Mboni, a native and citizen, of Cameroon, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing his appeal from the immigration judge’s denial of Mboni’s requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture.
We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the report describing the investigation conducted by the U.S. Embassy’s Regional Security Office in Yaoundé, Cameroon, the affidavit submitted by Dairou Yaouba, and all other supporting evidence. We conclude that the record evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to any of the administrative factual findings, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B) (2012), and that substantial evidence supports the Board’s decision. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). Specifically, we reject Mboni’s claim that the agency unreasonably relied on the investigative report and further conclude that consideration of the report was not fundamentally unfair. See Anim v. Mukasey, 535 F.3d 243, 256 (4th Cir. 2008). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Mboni (B.I.A. Apr. 28, 20 15). *
*207 We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED.
Before the Board, Mboni merely claimed that the immigration judge’s decision was "erroneous and contrary to the record and settled law” and "contrary to the Fourth Circuit decision in Anim v. Mukasey.” (J.A. 8). Although we have considered Mboni's general claims on appeal, as addressed by the Board, we lack jurisdiction over many of the specific contentions raised in Mboni’s brief on the ground that he failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1) *207 (2012); Kporlor v. Holder, 597 F.3d 222, 226 (4th Cir. 2010).
