United States First Circuit

Petition for review of a decision denying Cambodian national petitioner asylum and related relief is denied where: 1) the court lacks jurisdiction over an asylum claim because she had not exhausted her administrative remedies; 2) the record did not contain evidence that petitioner experienced any persecution prior to her exodus from Cambodia; 3) petitioner did not satisfy burden of proof of likelihood of future persecution; 4) petitioner did not prove that it was more likely than not that she will be tortured if removed to her homeland; and 5) the IJ fully considered documentation proffered by petitioner and did not violate her right to due process, and put sufficient weight to evidence of general conditions in Cambodia.
