United States First Circuit
Ghouri v. Holder, 09-2707
A Pakistani citizen's petition for review of a BIA's decision affirming an IJ's denial of his application for asylum and related relief is denied in part and dismissed in part where: 1) petitioner's claim that he fears his brother-in-law will murder him and his wife in an honor killing because his wife converted from Sunni to Shia Islam when she married him, is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction as the claim of asylum is untimely; and 2) substantial evidence supports the determination that petitioner failed to show eligibility for withholding of removal and CAT protection.
