Respondent.
--------------------
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A78 510 085
---------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Sanjay Kirtibh Shah petitions this court for review of the
Board of Immigration Appeals’s (BIA’s) decision denying asylum,
withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention
Against Torture (CAT). Shah contends that he is entitled to
asylum and asserts that the immigration judge erred in
determining that there were no changed country conditions so as
to excuse the untimeliness of his asylum application. We do not,
however, have jurisdiction to review the immigration judge’s
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
No. 05-60129
-2-
discretionary determination that Shah’s asylum application was
untimely. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(3). The petition for review is
thus DISMISSED as to the claims concerning asylum.
The IJ’s conclusion that Shaw was ineligible for withholding
of removal is supported by substantial evidence. The evidence
does not compel a contrary conclusion. Shah has not shown that
he will be singled out for persecution if he returns or that
there is a pattern or practice of discrimination against Muslims.
See 8 C.F.R.
§ 208.16(b)(1), (2); see Zhao v. Gonzales,
404 F.3d 295, 307 (5th
Cir. 2005).
Shah does not argue in his brief that he was due relief
under the CAT. As such, the claim is waived. See Yohey v.
Collins,
985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993). Shah’s petition
for review is DENIED IN PART.
