2 PER CURIAM:

William Antonio Claros Reyes, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for

review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal

from the immigration judge’s denial of asylum, withholding of removal, and protection

under the Convention Against Torture and the Board’s subsequent order denying

reconsideration. With regard to Reyes’ asylum application, we lack jurisdiction to review

the agency’s determination that Reyes failed to demonstrate changed circumstances

excusing the untimeliness of his application. See

8 U.S.C. § 1158

(a)(3) (2012). Reyes’

contention that he raises a reviewable constitutional claim or question of law, see

Zambrano v. Sessions,

878 F.3d 84, 87

(4th Cir. 2017), is without merit. Accordingly,

we dismiss the petitions for review as to this issue. For Reyes’ remaining claims, we

deny the petitions for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Reyes (B.I.A.

March 15, 2018 & July 31, 2018). 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.
