Simanungkalit v. Mukasey
Simanungkalit v. Mukasey
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Master Andrews Simanungkalit, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing an appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Li v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 959, 962 (9th Cir. 2004), and we deny the petition for review.
The record does not compel the conclusion that the changed circumstances exception excused the untimely filing of Simanungkalit’s asylum application. See Ramadan v. Gonzales, 479 F.3d 646, 648, 657 (9th Cir. 2007).
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility finding based on
In his opening brief, Simanungkalit fails to address, and therefore has waived, any challenge to the BIA’s denial of CAT relief. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996). Accordingly, we do not consider Simanungkalit’s CAT claim.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
