United States First Circuit

Petition for review of BIA denial of applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT) is denied where the court lacks jurisdiction on the issue of whether the asylum application was timely, and petitioner did not show that it was more likely than not that he would be persecuted or tortured if he returned to Egypt.
