Summary Calendar FILED ____________ August 5, 2026 Lyle W. Cayce Mrisho M. Mzese, Clerk Petitioner, versus

Todd Wallace Blanche, Acting U.S. Attorney General, Respondent. ______________________________

Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Agency No. A095 475 119 ______________________________

Before Davis, Richman, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam: *

Mrisho M. Mzese, a native and citizen of Tanzania, petitions this court for review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) dismissing his appeal from the immigration judge’s denial of a waiver of inadmissibility and adjustment of status, cancellation of removal, asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. Because this court received his petition more than 30 days after the Case: 25-60449 Document: 80-1 Page: 2 Date Filed: 08/05/2026

No. 25-60449 issuance of the BIA’s decision, and Mzese fails to meet the requirements of Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 25(a)(2)(A)(iii) to benefit from the prison mailbox rule, the petition is DENIED as UNTIMELY. See Liao v. Bondi, 162 F.4th 519, 525-26 (5th Cir. 2025); 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1).
