Zhiyan Jin v. Loretta E. Lynch
Opinion
MEMORANDUM ***
Petitioner Zhiyan Jin is a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of China. Jin petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying her petition for asylum.
An application for asylum must be filed within one year of the alien’s arrival in the United States. The alien has the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the application was timely filed. 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(2)(B). The Immigration Judge (“IJ”) found that Jin had not met this burden and the BIA agreed.
This court lacks jurisdiction to review the IJ’s or BIA’s finding that an asylum application is untimely. 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(3). While we retain jurisdiction to review the agency’s timeliness-related rulings where the alien raises a question of law or constitutional claim, 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D), Singh v. Holder, 649 F.3d 1161, 1164 (9th Cir. 2011) (en banc), Jin raises neither.
The petition for review is DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
