Jamsheed Ghorbani v. Jefferson B. Sessions III
Opinion
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Jamsheed Ghorbani, a native and citizen of Iran, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the immigration judge’s denial of his asylum application as time-barred. The agency granted Ghorbani’s request for withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3) (2012).
On appeal, Ghorbani challenges the agency’s determination that he failed to establish extraordinary circumstances to excuse the untimely filing of his asylum application. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(2)(B), (D) (2012). We lack jurisdiction to review this determination pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(3) (2012), and find that Ghorbani does not raise a constitutional claim or question of law that would fall under the exception set forth in 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D) (2012). See Mulyani v. Holder, 771 F.3d 190, 196-97 (4th Cir. 2014); Gomis v. Holder, 571 F.3d 353, 358-59 (4th Cir. 2009). We therefore dismiss the petition for review. 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.
